The BPIF, Oxford Brookes University and The Publishers Association are pleased to announce the launch of the British Book Design and Production Awards 2007.

The Awards had a record year in 2006 for both entries and attendance on the evening and was enjoyed by all. We set out to take the awards to another new level in 2006 and are committed to continuing this in 2007.

These Awards promote and acknowledge the excellence of the British book design and production industry. They are a fantastic opportunity for your organisation to demonstrate its skills in these areas.

Following judges comments from the 2006 awards more emphasis will be given to laylout and typographic standards in 2007. In many cases books that were ranked extremely highly were let down by basic typographic errors and poor design.

Also new for 2007 is the Best Student Book of the Year. This category is open to anyone in part or full time education on a recognised publishing, printing or design based course in the UK that has completed a book for as part of their course. The entry should include a brief synopsis on the project that led to the book and also a signed letter from the course professor confirming the college, course and course dates that the students is enrolled on. The winner of the award will be given the opportunity to have some work experience with either a designer, publisher or printer and also a cheque for £500 along with the trophy that will be presented on at the awards evening on 13 November 2007.Following judges comments from the 2006 awards more emphasis will be given to laylout and typographic standards in 2007.
