Tegnerforbundets utvalgte 2025 is the ninth edition of an exhibition that has become a permanent highlight of the Norwegian Drawing Center's annual program. The exhibition presents a professionally judged selection from the wide variety of picture books, comics, and illustrated and wordless books published during the past year. This year's professional jury consists of Kristoffer Kjølberg, May Linn Clemet, Marius Renberg and Kjersti Synneva Moen.
This year's selected cartoonists are:
Bjørn Ousland, Velkommen til Grumyra, Gyldendal

Through sketches, original drawings and digital works, we highlight the extensive and detailed work such publications require, in recognition of the visual book and the skilled illustrators behind it.
Each year, one of the selected artists is commissioned to decorate the gallery's window facade with an original drawing for the exhibition. This year, Per-Ragnar Møkleby will be responsible for this drawing. Video interviews with the selected artists will also be shown in Tegnerforbundet during the exhibition period.
The selected books will be available to the public in the gallery throughout the exhibition period.
Exhibition producers: Rosanna Vibe and Beatrice Guttormsen.
