From AIGA/Design Observer:

This competition continues a tradition that dates back over ninety years, when American Institute of Graphic Arts, mounted the show The Fifty Books of 1923. The exhibition went right to the heart of what the then-fledgling profession held dear: the design and production of books. In an age where reading increasingly happens on screens, it is clear from the winning entries that designers and publishers are not just resigned to the new world but are actively challenging it.

Jury: Lucinda Hitchcock, Daphne Geismar, and Henk van Assen; chaired by Jessica Helfand
