Germany’s Stiftung Buchkunst (Foundation for Book Art) is the organizer of the competition, which is held in Leipzig.
A jury composed of international design and publishing professionals will select the grand prize winner and the runners up who will receive honorable mention, during a ceremony on March 15.
