If you took part to myDetour by posting your notebook in one of the boxes in Paris, you will receive a limited and numbered edition Moleskine Notebook especially designed for the event!

The jury has finally choosen the ten notebooks that will be exhibited on public display on myDetour Berlin. Here below the complete list, enjoy it!
The first one is the one considered the best of all by the jury, and its author will be invited to Berlin to attend inauguration of the Detour exhibition there.




In addition to these best ten, a broad selection of images of entrants' notebooks will be published within the end of June.

The jury is about to complete the difficult task of selecting the notebooks - in the pictures, left to right, Maria Sebregondi, Lucio Lazzara, Raffaella Guidobono.



On June 20th we'll publish the images of the 10 notebooks to be exhibited at the next Detour event with the name (or nickname) of the author, who will be invited to the Opening, taking place in Berlin next autumn.

Find here a preview of the notebooks posted in the boxes in Paris. As the artistic quality of the works is quite remarkable, it will be hard work for the jury to select the best notebooks.

Great success and public attendance at the Detour exhibition lately closed.

We wish to thank also all the Moleskiners that took part into the myDetour, by leaving their notebook at the three collecting points in Paris.

The names of the most deserving authors, whose work will be exhibited at the next myDetour event in Berlin, will be published on these pages by June 20th 2008.
