Since 1981 the Alcuin Society has sponsored the only national competition that recognizes and celebrates fine book design in Canada. Each year, publishers submit books to a panel of expert judges, who give the Alcuin Society Awards for Excellence in Book Design in Canada. The competition includes a children’s category. Publishers may submit as many books in as many categories as they wish. Judging is based on the suitability of design concept in relation to the intellectual nature of the content and the intended audiences. Use of colour, type, and illustration and photography styles when applicable are also considered. The stock used in the text block, as well as the binding, covering, and overall finish are judged in the context of the book’s purpose. Winning entries are announced and citations are presented at an awards ceremony in Vancouver in June. Award winners will benefit from national exposure through media, exhibitions and the Awards Catalogue of Winners.
