50 Books | 50 Covers of 2016: Call for Entries
AIGA + Design Observer are pleased to announce the 50 Books | 50 Covers competition for books published in 2016.
Beginning in 1923, the Fifty Books of the Year competition was a yearly mainstay of AIGA. As dust jackets became more common, covers were added to the competition. This survey of the best in book design represents perhaps the longest-standing legacy in American graphic design. In 2012, Design Observer, in partnership with AIGA, began hosting the competition and through a new joint venture, we are delighted to usher in another year of amazing book and cover design.
The early entry deadline is February 10. The competition will close February 24, 2017.
Historical collections of books and book covers dating back to 1924 can be viewed in the AIGA Design Archives. View the winners of 50 Books | 50 Covers of 2011–2015 here.
