Fifteen prizes over five categories were awarded in 2015, including two new awards. For the first time we also produced an exhibition catalogue, which includes colour images of every book. The catalogue is available to purchase via our online Shop.
The winning entries were announced at the Society’s Conference at Keele University on 20th – 23rd August 2015. Awards were presented on the first evening of the Conference and all entries were exhibited at the Conference for the duration.
