Thank You For Celebrating Excellence in
Washington-Area Book Publishing!
The Washington Book Publishers BOOK DESIGN & EFFECTIVENESS
AWARD COMPETITION, held in the spring of each year, presents the
DC area's most prestigious book awards.
The goal of
the competition is to recognize, celebrate, encourage, and learn
from examples of excellence in book-making in the Greater Washington,
DC, book publishing community. The judges represent the spectrum
of publishing: senior management/editorial, graphic design, marketing/sales,
and retail bookstores. They evaluate the excellence of an entry’s
design and also its effectiveness in achieving the publisher’s
goals and meeting the reader’s needs. Prizes are awarded to
design area and publisher type.
Anyone affiliated with the design, production, and publication
of a book may enter the competition, as long as the book meets the
qualifying criteria and the book's publisher is eligible.
See below for information on this year's ceremony, taking place
on June 11.
