Premio Romics del Fumetto 2025
From 3 to 6 April 2025, Romics returns with the twenty-third edition of the Romics Award for Comics, the prestigious contest that rewards the major national and international brands of the ninth art.
The Prize, organized under the auspices of the Centre for Book and Reading, an independent institution of the Ministry of Culture, is an important event that sees the dissemination of comic books on a national scale, to always keep up with the latest news from Italian publishing houses.
The collaboration with the Centre for Book and Reading - Autonomous Institute of the Ministry of Culture continues and is intensified, with the aim of awarding the New Talents Prize, dedicated to emerging Italian authors. The work continues with the Libraries of Rome Capital, which saw in the last edition the establishment of the Young Readers' Prize - Public Graphic Novel Award, Libraries of Rome, dedicated to Graphic Novel, which has been very successful and great interest. The jury of the Romics Award for Comics will select again this year up to a maximum of n. 6 titles from those registered, which will be voted by the Reading Circles of the Libraries of Rome, composed of young readers. The collaboration also aims to feed a fund for the establishment, within the Libraries of Rome, a new section of Comics and Graphic Novels.
During 2024, events and presentations have been held and will be held in 2025, both during the editions of Romics and at the libraries' sites, in an increasingly important and fundamental dialogue between publishers, authors and readers.
Romics since its first edition, promotes the culture, the art of comics and the increasingly widespread spread of reading in Italy through this now traditional event.
The Award Ceremony will be a great moment of sharing and meeting. In addition, live performances dedicated to the comic, focus within the official catalogue of the event, on the website and social media, and an exhibition dedicated to books in competition will focus on the comics candidates and offer ever greater visibility to Italian and international pencils.
