The Most Beautiful Swiss Books competition recognizes the work of the year’s most talented book designers, encourages and showcases high-quality productions, and then promotes the winning works.
A traveling exhibition is organized each year in Switzerland and abroad, as a promotional measure to share and consolidate skills related to book design.
