Begun in 2004, this design contest for graphic arts students is another example of the company's commitment to culture and education in general and, in particular, to young talent in the graphic industry, with more than 700 student participants to date. We ask students to design a bookmark that is different, original, lyrical, outlandish, hyperbolic, in short, that draws on their imagination and creativity while applying the skills and knowledge they have obtained thus far.
Every year, students of Torraspapel’s Collaboration Project with Graphic Arts Schools in different training cycles: Printing and Production in Graphic Arts, Design and Editorial Production present their work based on a given theme.
