Angoulême International Comics Festival – Announcement
The organizers have officially suspended preparations for next year’s edition, which was scheduled for the turn of January and February 2026. It is currently unclear whether the 53rd edition of the festival will take place. As a result of appeals from numerous French comic artists for a boycott of the event, many French publishers have decided to withdraw their participation.
In light of the information coming from France, both the Book Institute and the Adam Mickiewicz Institute have decided to withdraw from participating in next year’s edition (January 28 – February 1, 2026).
We are in contact with the winners of the competition for comic creators organized by us in collaboration with the Adam Mickiewicz Institute – at the invitation of the Book Institute, they will be able to participate in other similar trade events.
