Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to announce that submissions for the 2017 Katharine Kyes Leab & Daniel J. Leab American Book Prices Current Exhibition Awards are being accepted until October 15, 2016. The awards are given annually in recognition of excellence in the publication of catalogs and brochures that accompany exhibitions of library and archival materials, as well as for digital exhibitions of such materials. The prizes are administered and awarded by the ALA/ACRL/RBMS Exhibition Awards Committee.
For full information about entering please
see the submission page at: http://www.ala.org/acrl/
Submissions of printed materials (4 copies of
each catalog or brochure) must be postmarked by October 15th.
For digital exhibitions, only the filled in form is needed which
asks for basic information about the exhibition and the names of
its creators; this form can be completed in a few minutes. After
judging is completed and the awards announced, the printed
materials are sent to The Bancroft Library at UC Berkeley, The
Harry Ransom Humanities Center at UT Austin, and the Grolier
Club in New York City. This constitutes a triplicate archive of
the self-selected best work in the field. Lists and an
exhibition of prize winners as well as lists of all materials
submitted since the inception of the award in 1986, are
available at this address: http://rbms.info/exhibition_
I welcome any questions potential submitters may have and look forward to your entries!
