During the second stage of the competition, each of the finalists will be asked to develop an original and unpublished illustration, with free content, that revolves around books and/or reading. The attractiveness and contemporaneity of the creations will be valued, in addition to the fact that they highlight the promotion of reading.

From that moment on, the new image will be used in all promotional media of LIBER 2023 (posters and banners; hand plan and catalog of the fair, posters, press releases, and newsletters, social networks).
