Cartasia celebrated its 3rd edition in 2007 and, starting from this edition onwards, the organizing committee selected a main theme that must be the source of inspiration for all those taking part in the international competition and all paper artists involved in the event.

The III edition of Lucca Biennale Cartasia was structured in different sections: the international competition of paper & cardboard sculpture and installations with a particular focus on materials derived from recycling; an outdoor exhibition of the selected artworks; collateral exhibitions; and performance events, such as dance, theater and music recitals.
