Each spring a small group meets in the headquarters of the Bologna Children’s Book Fair, in Bologna, Italy to select the winners of the BolognaRagazzi Digital Award— an annual global search for excellence and innovation in digital children’s publishing. 

For the 2015 edition, the jurors were Warren Buckleitner, Editor CTR (USA), Cristina Mussinelli, Italian Publishers Association (Italy), Klaas Verplancke, illustrator/author (Belgium), and Max Whitby, Co-Founder, Touchpress (UK).
