Application guidelines and eligibility
Entry is open to anyone aged 35 and under, anywhere in the world. (We kindly ask applicants to submit in English, which will ensure the fairest possible assessment by the jury.) This year’s deadline to enter is June 8, 2025. Note that we take an expansive view of the word book. This needn’t be a collection of traditional hard- and softcovers (which are certainly fine). When it comes to your book collection, we’ll defer to your own appreciation of what makes a book. Comic books and graphic novels, zines, contemporary book art, handwritten manuscripts—all are welcome.
To enter, simply submit…
