Among the 524 works still in the running for these prestigious awards is the One Book for Peace by New Moment New Ideas Company from Belgrade, done for the Inter Religious Council of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The One is shortlisted in Consumer Direct and Publication Design category.
This widely celebrated project has so far won a slew of awards, including five Cannes Lions, and its quality has once again been recognized by a jury of journalists and editors dedicated to creative communications.
The “One Book for Peace” brings together the teachings of the holy books of the Bible and the Qur’an, showing side by side how similar the religious teachings of these books actually are. By showing the similarities that exist between the two religions, the book aims to revive dialogue between religions, encourage dialogue between ordinary people and contribute to the establishment of peace and harmony in the world.
The complete shortlist of the Epica Awards 2017 will be published on the Epica website today afternoon, and the winners will be decided next week, when the Epica main jury will meet in Berlin to further scrutinize the shortlisted works.
