2002 Western Presses Marketing Design Competition

The annual AAUP Book, Jacket, and Journal Show honors and promotes quality book design in university press publishing. But publishing involves more than just manufacturing a book or journal, it requires putting that manufactured item in the hands of readers. Outstanding design in marketing materials is key to effective, high quality publishing.

This first Marketing Design Competition is aimed at rewarding excellence in this specialized and demanding field. The competition was open to marketing materials from any press that planned to send staff to the 2002 Western University Presses meeting in Colorado Springs, CO. The winners of the competition were announced and displayed at the closing reception on October 21, 2002.

The winners are listed below. Other categories that were open to entries, but in which no awards were given were: Flier, Brochure, Press Kit, and Web Site.

Judges for the competition were Gerry Sussman, former Sales Manager at Oxford University Press, and Barbara Jellow, former Principal Artist at the University of California Press. Barbara Jellow designed the call for entries and the catalog of winning entries. Phoenix Color contributed the printing of the competition materials.

The catalog of the winning entries is available in PDF format. Download catalog
