The Book as Art: Artists’ Books from the National Museum of Women in the Arts
The Book as Art has won both 1st place in the Illustrated Text category and the best in show award at the annual Washington Book Publishers’ book design & effectiveness award competition.
Washington Book Publishers is a membership organization created in 1976 to nurture and celebrate book publishing in the Washington, D.C. area.
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 by design area and publisher type.”
Congratulations to National Museum of Women in the Arts and of course the design and editorial teams at Princeton Architectural Press.
