The cartoonist from San Sebastian Elena Odriozola has been awarded this Friday with the Grand Prix of the Bratislava Biennale of Illustration (BIB), the organizers reported at the opening of the 28th edition of the prestigious Slovak contest.
Odriozola (Donostia-San Sebastián, 1967) has obtained the BIB award, which presents the best production in illustration for children and young people of the last two years, for his work in the book Mixed feelings.
