One exemplary publication will be chosen to receive the George Wittenborn Memorial Book Award, to be presented and announced in March 2019 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 2018, 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.
