Book Arts Prize for 2012

The Book Arts Prize is a juried award given every year in recognition of excellence in the creation of a hand printed and bound book, letterpress printing, or hand binding made in the studio of the Book Arts Workshop. Deadline for entries is June 1, 2012.

Prizes will be awarded for the following categories:

Book Arts Grand Prize: $500 Awarded to a Dartmouth College undergraduate who combines letterpress printing and hand book binding to create an original book. The book should be letterpress printed and bound in the Book Arts Studios.
Letterpress Printing: $150 Awarded for the best example of letterpress printing produced in the Letterpress Studio by a Dartmouth College undergraduate or graduate. Submissions may be a single broadside (minimum dimensions 14" x 17") or a collection of at least three printed items.
Hand Bookbinding: $150 Awarded for the best example of a book bound by hand in the Bindery Studio by a Dartmouth College undergraduate or graduate. The book may contain blank, letterpress, or digitally printed pages. The text will be judged only in how the binding relates to the book's content.
