Every year, The Best Dutch Book Designs celebrates the best products of the graphic industry in the Netherlands: 33 books made with heart and soul. Books set apart by the combination of great design and commissioning with high-quality lithography, printing and bindings. The jury assessment takes place at the end of January. Since 2016, in addition to the professional jury, a student jury has been established with the participation of ArtEZ (Arnem), Gerrit Rietveld Academy (Amsterdam), HKU (Utrecht), KABK (The Hague) and Minerva (Groningen). Both selections will take shape in a catalogue and will be exhibited at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam in the autumn.
