An international jury of experts has presented the ICMA Award every year since 2010. It is a global competition for corporate media, books, corporate design and magazines, provides an overview of contemporary graphic design and is primarily intended to promote the exchange of creative ideas on an international level and reveal trends.
The award ceremony will traditionally take place on March 10, 2025, on the eve of the London Book Fair in London.
Jury statement:
Prisma
The book is slightly smaller than DIN A 3 and has a landscape format. It is a leporello, hand-bound. You can put the book up and enjoy a photo exhibition. One side has the photos, the other the text.
All in all: Prisma is a book object with excellent photographs
