This year's work of art
This year's poster is a simple illustration of 'Nordic
Celebration', but now that it is also anniversary year for both
Denmark, Norway and Sweden, there are at the same time placed three
flags in the characters' hands to celebrate the three countries ...
Which also makes it kind of party.
- Bárður Óskarsson
This year's artwork is created by the Faroese
children's book author and artist Bárður
Óskarsson. Bárður, who was born and raised in
Torshavn, Faroe Islands, has lived in Copenhagen, Denmark, for the
past 30 years. He won the Nordic Council's Children's and Youth
Literature Prize 2018 for the picture book 'Træið', which
he himself wrote and illustrated.
