Stiftung Buchkunst: Call for Entries 2021
The Best German Book Design and a Prize for Young Book Designers
The Stiftung Buchkunst (Engl.: Foundation for Book Design) invites you to participate in two of their competitions Die Schönsten Deutschen Bücher 2021 (Engl.: The Best German Book Design 2021) and Förderpreis für junge Buchgestaltung 2021 (Engl.: Sponsorship Prize for Young Book Design 2021). The deadline for both competitions is March 31st, 2021.
Die Schönsten Deutschen Bücher 2021 (Engl.: The Best German Book Design)
In the competition of Die Schönsten Deutschen Bücher by Stiftung Buchkunst, 25 books are selected for award by an independent interdisciplinary jury of editorial design experts. The books chosen are outstanding examples of design, concept, and finish. There are five prize winners in each of the five categories: General Literature, Academic Works, Educational Textbooks, Guides, Non-Fiction, Art and Photography, Exhibition Catalogues, and Children’s and Young People’s Books. The selection also takes account of the more minimalistic, well-typed reading book.
All 25 books which gain an honorary award in the competition are automatically nominated for the Award of the Stiftung Buchkunst. Endowed by the German Government’s Representative for Culture and Media and with a total value of 10,000 Euros. This remunerative award is intended for books which show an exceptionally high degree of commitment on the part of their publishers and of all those involved in their production, and which through their overall design and finish provide new impulses to modern book design.
Förderpreis für junge Buchgestaltung 2021 (Engl.: Sponsorship Prize for Young Book Design)
Since 1989 the Stiftung Buchkunst has annually awarded the Sponsorship Prize for Young Book Design. Design Students, book designers, typographers, and those in production are invited to participate. The award is intended to promote innovative book design. The prize aims to recognize innovative ideas surrounding printed books as well as hybrid book forms. As a prize for innovation it can thus provide a stimulative arena for the books of tomorrow. The prize is endowed by the German Government’s Representative for Culture and Media with a total value of 6,000 Euros and is divided equally between three up and-coming book designers, 2,000 Euros each.
