VOLUMES
Award 2021

What was published by artists and independent publishers in 2021?

With this second book award, we would like to follow up on the initiative we started last year, and we would like to highlight and support the production and producers of 2021 with four cash prizes of CHF 500 each. Three of which will be decided by online voters and one selected by the VOLUMES team, to support especially artists and publishers with small means, making meaningful and selfless work.

All of the submitted books will be showcased online and in an award exhibition (tbd).

We will invite everybody to vote for their favorite publications of 2021.
