USA

The MCBA Prize is the first honor to recognize and promote excellence in new work from across the expressive spectrum of book art. Established in 2009, this biennial award is meant to represent the diversity of book art and encourage discussion rather than limit recognition to any one aspect of this vital field.

Book art, broadly defined, includes work that embodies narrative, instruction, reference, mapping, guides, documentation, and more. Forms, processes, traditions and approaches are open. Work may include unique book objects, altered books, graphic novels, ‘zines, concrete poetry, conceptual, visual and literary works. Processes may include any printing or printmaking methods such as photo-mechanical, hand-worked, analog/digital, relief printmaking, letterpress, intaglio, and screen-printing, as well as hand-lettering.

Works may be in edition or unique. Please contact Anika Schneider, MCBA's Director of Exhibitions and Artist Programs, with any questions at aschneider@mnbookarts.org
