The British Printing Industries Federation (BPIF), Oxford Brookes University, The Publishers Association, The Bookseller and The BookMachine are calling for entries to the British Book Design and Production Awards 2019. These are the only industry awards to promote and celebrate the excellence and craftsmanship of the British book design and production industry.

All books published between 1 July 2018 and 29 June 2019 are eligible for entry in this year's awards. There are 18 categories that reflect the many various forms books can take including;

Literature
Digital
Limited Edition
Educational
Children's
Trade
Self-Publishing

There is also a category for aspiring students to enter their work, with the chance to win a cheque for £500 as well as a short internship with a leading designer, publisher or printer.

Industry experts from the areas of design, publishing and production will judge the entries and stamp the book that outshines the rest with the title of ‘Book of the Year'.

The deadline for entries is Friday 28 June 2019. The awards will be presented at a dazzling ceremony in November in London.
