Entries for The Cornish Family Prize for Art and Design Publishing, through The National Gallery of Victoria, close December 19, 2017.
As part of the fourth Melbourne Art Book Fair, March 16–18, 2018, the NGV invites entries for The Cornish Family Prize for Art and Design Publishing from publishers, artists, designers, writers, curators and organisations around the world whose publishing practice explores art, design, architecture and contemporary culture. Now in its second year, this NGV initiative will award 15,000 AUD for the winning book, with additional 1,000 AUD prizes for up to five finalists. The winner will be announced at the 2018 Melbourne Art Book Fair.
Tony Ellwood, Director, NGV, said, “The NGV is pleased to continue the tradition of supporting the art book publishing industry on a global scale through the Melbourne Art Book Fair, bolstered again this year by The Cornish Family Prize for Art and Design Publishing. This holistic celebration of art and design books is a fitting opening to the 2018 Melbourne Design Week."
The Cornish Family Prize for Art and Design Publishing is the most significant prize of its kind, and the first in the Asia-Pacific region to recognise the book in its entirety, rather than individual elements such as graphic design or print production. It aims to acknowledge publishing as a key critical practice around the world and support innovation in the field.
Applications for The Cornish Family Prize for Art and Design Publishing close on Tuesday, December 19, 2017. Titles must have a publication date of January–December 2017. Apply at ngvartbookfair.com.
The NGV gratefully acknowledges the Cornish family for their support of The Cornish Family Prize for Art and Design Publishing.
The Melbourne Art Book Fair program is supported by Event Partner Asahi Super Dry. The symposium is presented by the RMIT Design Futures Lab with the support of the RMIT School of Media and Communication.
