As they do every year, jurors from five countries gathered at the
National Library in Leipzig early February to select the ‘Most
Beautiful Books from around the World’. Nearly 600 Books from 33
countries, all of them winners of national competitions, were
laid and ready for the jury’s scrutiny. This year’s Golden
Letter, the highest award, goes to “Ouroboros Wings” from the
Netherlands, the graduation project by designer Benaiah French at
the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. It was also a big
challenge for the current jury –Sunandini Banerjee (India),
Isabel Seiffert (Swizzerland/Germany), Fraser Muggeridge (UK),
Raül Vicent (Spain) and Artur Frankowski (Poland). For an extra
episode of our podcast, we were allowed to look over their
shoulders during the selection marathon. With big thanks to Lou
Bromby (voice), Steffen Brosig (editing) and the team of Stiftung
Buchkunst.

The award-winning books 2026 can be viewed for the first time at
the Leipzig Book Fair (March 19th – March 22nd) at the Stiftung
Buchkunst stand (Hall 5, A 300).
