The Much Anticipated British Book Design and Production Awards Shortlist
14th August 2015
The BPIF, together with Oxford Brookes University, The Publishers Association and The Booksellers are proud to announce the shortlist for the British Book Design and Production Awards 2015. With 17 categories, and a record number of entries, the annual awards remains the UK’s premiere event for book design and production.
A five-strong panel of industry experts from the areas of design, publishing, production and retail gathered for two days at Oxford Brookes University, where they went through a tough selection process in order to reach the shortlist decision.
The winners of each category will be announced at a glittering Gala Awards evening, which regularly draws the great and the good from both the UK’s printing and publishing industries. The ceremony will be held on Thursday 26 November at the prestigious Jumeirah Carlton Tower London Hotel, a venue famed for its spectacular views across the centre of London.
