ARLIS/NA GEORGE WITTENBORN MEMORIAL BOOK AWARD
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
The 2016 George
Wittenborn Memorial Book Award subcommittee of the
Art Libraries Society of North America
welcomes submissions of notable art publications released by a North American publisher during 2016. This prestigious award is presented annually to 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. One exemplary publication will be chosen to receive the George Wittenborn Memorial Book Award, to be presented and announced in March 2016 at the annual ARLIS/NA conference.
Titles eligible for consideration include: books, exhibition catalogues, and new periodical titles in any language, published in print or in digital format in 2016, 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
George Wittenborn Award page for eligibility, selection criteria and guidelines, and the
official entry form.
The winning publisher and author(s) will be personally notified in advance, and the award will be first presented in February 2017 at the convocation of the
ARLIS/NA 45th Annual Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana. Public announcement of the award will immediately follow the conference presentation. 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.
