PHotoESPAÑA recognizes each year the best photography books in distinct categories to celebrate a format that makes it possible to hold images of stories, collections, documents, and projects. With these awards, a committee of experts honors the efforts that the publishing industry makes every year to promote photography, and awards the talent, originality, and design of the photobooks.
The Best Photography Book of the Year Award recognizes editorial works presented in the following categories:
Best National Photography Book of the Year
Best International Photography Book of the Year
Best Self-Published Photography Book
Outstanding Publisher of the Year
The call for entries for the 22th edition of the Festival was closed on April 1, 2019. Artists and publishers of all nationalities were able to present their books published between March 1, 2018, and March 1, 2019.
During the month of April, 2019, a pre-selection committee formed by professionals in the publishing sector selected the finalists that will be exhibited, as of June 6th, at the Biblioteca Nacional de España in Madrid.
