Publishers, commisioners, designers, printers and binders have submitted 298 books in total. 33 books distinguished themselves conspicuously by their editorial choices, graphic design, treatment of images and text, choice of material and technical workmanship.
The panel of judges consists this year of designers Yolanda Huntelaar and Remco van Bladel, Freek Kuin (creative director Robstolk printers), Eelco van Welie (CEO nai010 publishers) and Carolien Glazenburg (curator Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam).
The Dutch selection has been sent to the international competition Schönste Bücher aus aller Welt in Leipzig. March 9 the winners will be announced.
Since last year a panel of students of five art academies judges all the submissions as well. The selection of these future bookmakers will be announced at June 1.
