We set up the First Book Award in 2012 and after ten successful years we have decided to end on the high note of 2021’s jury and winners. It has been a wonderful and stimulating experience and we believe it has contributed to the experimentation and development surrounding the book form and photography. There are now numerous similar awards and opportunities for artists and photographers and we are keen to explore new ideas and arenas. We will soon be announcing our new programme supporting books by emerging artists and in the meanwhile we continue to welcome submissions across contemporary art, photography, architecture, literature and critical studies. Our editorial board considers every project.
