Since the International Bookbinding Competition started in 1999 it has developed into one the most successful regular exhibitions of the craft. Its success has been in the variety of work which is represented, with fine binding sitting happily alongside restoration and book-arts.
The Competition runs in conjunction with the Society’s biennial Conference, and attracts around one hundred entries from countries all around the world. This year there will be fifteen prizes awarded over five categories as well as prizes for forwarding, finishing and design. 2015 saw the introduction of the exhibition catalogue which includes colour images of every book entered. This was a great success so catalogues will be available again in 2017 and each entrant will receive a copy.
The winning entries will be announced at the Society’s Conference held at Keele University on 3-6th Aug 2017. Awards will be presented on the first evening of the conference. All entries will be exhibited at the Conference for the duration, after which the winning bindings will be exhibited at Shepherds, London and George Bayntun’s Bookshop, Bath. Dates for these venues will be advertised here at a later date.
Entrants should register before 12th May 2017 by completing a registration form which can be found here. The period for submission of bindings is 5th - 10th June 2017.
