Two books by Aalto ARTS Books were awarded in an international competition
The awards can be seen as an indication that Aalto ARTS Books has succeeded in its core mission of publishing works in which the union of high-quality content and beautiful layout has been successfully implemented. It also shows that academic publications can be spectacular – not just world-class in content.
This year, 427 books and publications from 26 countries around the world took part in the competition, e.g. From Australia, Korea, South Africa, Brazil and many European countries. The competition has grown year by year. Aalto ARTS Books is the only award-winning Finnish publishing house.
'We competed in a series with the world's finest art books and visual publishers, such as the Museum of Modern Art and 5 Continent Editions, so we are in good company', says Sanna Tyyri-Pohjonen, Publishing Manager (vs.) at Aalto ARTS Books.
The ICMA awards were now presented for the tenth time. Aalto ARTS Books has participated in the competition three times and has always been awarded. The winning books of the previous year have been Maija Tammi's Sick Photography (2018) and Lost in the Woods (2017), edited by Pirjo Kääriäinen and Liisa Tervinen.
The prizes were to be distributed 9 March at a gala dinner in London, but the event had to be canceled due to the coronavirus situation.
