The Alcuin Society, which began in 1981, is the only national book design competition in Canada. Winning books are contributed to permanent collections in Canada, the UK, Germany and Japan. This year's competition was judged by Marian Bantjes, Linda Gustafson and Peter Koch, some of the industries' top talents.
The Alcuin Award winning books will be exhibited internationally: in Germany, at the Frankfurt and Leipzig Book Fairs; in England, at the Norfolk and Norwich Millennium Library and the Norwich University College of the Arts; and in Japan, at the Canadian Embassy in Tokyo, in conjunction with the Tokyo International Book Fair.
