The 2010 George Wittenborn Memorial Book Award Committee of the Art Libraries Society of North America (ARLIS/NA) welcomes submissions of notable art books published in North America during 2010. This prestigious award is presented annually for publications demonstrating excellence in art publishing.
Established by ARLIS/NA in 1980, the award honors the memory of George Wittenborn (1905-1974), a premier New York art book dealer and publisher who was a strong supporter of ARLIS/NA in its formative years. Each year, eligible titles are evaluated for excellence in standards of content, documentation, layout, and format. From these titles, one exemplary publication will be chosen to receive the George Wittenborn Memorial Book Award.
Titles eligible for consideration include books, exhibition catalogues, and new periodical titles in any language, published in 2010 and originating from a North American publisher. Publications submitted by foreign publishers with North American offices must have been authored or edited in North America. Consult the award guidelines for specific criteria used for selection. (The guidelines are posted at: http://www.arlisna.org/about/awards/wittenborn_info.html.)
Announcement of the awards will take place in February 2011 and winning publishers, editors, and authors will be personally notified. Award-winning titles and the individuals associated with them can expect to receive wide recognition in newspapers and journals of the library and publishing professions via press release announcements by ARLIS/NA. The awards will be presented in March of 2011 at the convocation of the ARLIS/NA annual conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
