The international book fair for small publishers and artists' books
Dear exhibitors and visitors to the Mainz Mini-Press Fair,
Due to the current budgetary situation in the city of Mainz, all departments of the city administration are facing cost-cutting measures, each of which presents significant challenges. Negotiations regarding budget consolidation measures, combined with organizational considerations, have led to the decision that the Mainz Mini-Press Fair must be put on hold next year.
To our regret, we must therefore announce that the 28th Mainz Mini-Press Fair will not take place in 2027. You will be kept informed of further developments here on the website.
The call for submissions for the 24th V. O. Stomps Prize in 2027 is expressly not affected by this decision. The submission period will begin as usual in early 2027 and will be announced here on the Mainz Mini-Press Fair website and in the newsletter.
