The British Printing Industries Federation (BPIF) is calling for entries to the British Book Design and Production Awards 2023.
As a prestigious and popular literary event, these are one of the only industry awards to promote and celebrate the excellence and craftsmanship of the British book design and production industry.
Books published between 1 July 2022 and 7 July 2023 are eligible for entry in this year’s awards. There are 18 categories that represent the many various forms books can take. These include everything from Best British Book, Self-Published Books, Fine Binding & Limited Edition Books and Photographic Books. There are two brand new categories for the 2023 instalment of the awards, which are the Innovative Books and Sustainable Books categories.
There is also a category for aspiring students to enter their work, with the opportunity to win £500, as well as a short internship with a designer, publisher or printer.
A panel of industry experts from the areas of design, publishing and production will judge all entries. In addition to the 18 category winners, the book that outshines the rest will win the title of ‘Book of the Year’.
The deadline for entries is 7 July 2023. The awards will be presented at a ceremony on 24 January 2024 at the De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in London.
