The international MCBA Prize honors excellence in new work from across the expressive spectrum of book art. This award recognizes one winner with a $2,000 cash prize, as well as four finalists with $500 cash prizes. The 2020 competition coincides with MCBA’s 35th anniversary and will be celebrated with finalist awards and an exhibition of 20–30 selected semi-finalists this summer.
Visit the MCBA Prize website to learn more about the submission and selection process, overseen this year by juror Betty Bright. Since the prize was established in 2009, book artists from around the world have submitted an exquisite array of entries, each one viewable on our website alongside its artist statement.
The MCBA Prize application window is open February 1–March 31. Please share this artist opportunity with your networks!
