As a juror for The Alice Award, I would like to make this opportunity known to AAM members:
The $25,000 Alice award is given annually to a richly illustrated book that makes a valuable contribution to its field and demonstrates high standards of production. Books selected by the award jury for the Alice Short List each receive $5,000.
The award is intended to buttress the kind of slow reading movement that recognizes and cherishes the lasting values of the well-made illustrated book, and the special sense of intimacy it affords. Fields considered include the fine arts and the natural and built environments and related public issues.
The organization submitting the book must be a 501(c)3 and have acted as a partner in the book's production. Organizations may submit up to two books annually. Books published in the calendar year prior and up to the submission deadline will be considered.
Submission opens 1 January and closes 1 April. Besides submitting the brief online form, two copies of the book must be mailed to the Furthermore offices postmarked by April 1.
The portal to the online submission form can be found here.
Other Furthermore grants, furthermore.org, assist nonfiction books having to do with art, architecture and design; cultural history; the city, and related public issues; and conservation and preservation.
