Presented every two years, the Awards are open to arts practitioners using photography who are within 10 years of establishing their practice. There is no age limitation and no requirement for formal education or qualifications. This publication marks the second awards with awards to Alejandra Carles-Tolra, Sam Laughlin, and Lua Ribeira.
The awards publication is A5 (210x148mm) portrait and is PUR bound with a 4pp cover and 48pp text.
The 4pp cover is on Omnia 320gsm and the 48pp text is on Omnia 150gsm.

The black and white images of Sam Laughlin (below) look amazing...
The size and combination of weights is just right and the book flows superbly in the hand. The text is printed on Omnia 150gsm.
Returning to the cover and another very good reason that Omnia was chosen for this project. On most traditional uncoated papers, metallic inks can look flat and silver can end up just looking grey, but as I hope the below image demonstrates, the metallic silver really does look amazingly metallic on Omnia with the uncoated texture.Below shows the very neat PUR binding.
The design of this amazing awards catalogue and also of the awards identity is by Dean Pavitt and it was kind of him to send me copies with a lovely note...
