Five days of free meetings, workshops, and shows preceded the award ceremony on May 10th, where a Popular Jury of over 13,700 students from more than 670 Italian and foreign schools proclaimed the winning books.

46th Edition (2025)

The 2025 edition of the festival was held in Cento, Province of Ferrara, from May 6th to 10th. As per tradition, the six finalist books selected by the technical jury – three for primary school and three for lower secondary school – had been read and voted on during the school year by a Popular Jury of over 13,700 students, representing more than 670 schools from all Italian regions and some foreign schools in France and Croatia.

The award ceremony on May 10th took place in the 16th-century Salone di Rappresentanza of CREDEM. For primary school, the winner was "Oscar e io" by Maria Parr (Beisler Editore). The five days of the program offered meetings with authors, workshops, shows, and exhibitions, all with free admission, confirming Cento as a national reference point for children's literature.
