“...Today, we are pleased to announce that the 50 Books/50 Covers design competition is being hosted by Design Observer. In partnership with AIGA and Designers & Books, Design Observer is hosting this competition for the best book designs for entire books and book covers published during calendar year 2011...” —OBlog

With the introduction of an Advisory Panel of Nominators, we can expect that this year’s reboot of 50 Books / 50 Covers will bring about many changes to the historic show and competition.

A small selection of book cover designs have already been nominated and submitted. There is still an open call for the public to nominate a book or cover by following this link.

Add your dialogue below. Simple html (‹b›‹i›‹em›‹strong›) is OK, but make sure to preview your comment first! Oh, and please be nice!
