Inscrições abertas para o prêmio “Melhor Design de Livro” 2026

The Mystetskyi Arsenal announces its annual Best Book Design Contest, inviting publishing houses, graphic designers and authors to submit Ukrainian‑published books for consideration. Eligible entries are books released between December 2025 and November 2026 that have not been previously submitted to the contest. Submissions must be delivered as physical copies to the Arsenal office in Kyiv, either in person or by courier at the sender’s expense. The contest, running since 2016, selects five category winners and a Grand Prix, with shortlisted titles exhibited at the International Book Arsenal Festival and major German book fairs in Leipzig and Frankfurt, and later represented at the global Best Book Design competition organized by the Buchkunst Foundation. Winners gain international visibility, inclusion in the “Most Beautiful Books from all over the World” collection, and recognition within the global publishing and design community. The jury for 2026 includes illustrators, curators, art directors, and representatives from the Goethe‑Institut Ukraine. Applications are accepted until 27 November 2026, after which winners will be announced in early December 2026.
