LoPresti Awards

ARLIS/SE established in 1985 the LoPresti Publication Awards Competition to recognize and encourage excellence in art publications issued in the southeastern United States. The publication awards are named in honor of Mary Ellen LoPresti, former Design Librarian at North Carolina State University, who died in 1985.

 Museums and galleries, educational institutions, libraries, organizations, and commercial presses are encouraged to submit publications for consideration. All publications are judged on the quality of content and format within the appropriate category. The number of items that may be submitted is not restricted.

 Art and architectural books, exhibition catalogs, and serials published during an individual calendar year are eligible for consideration. Only publications from Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Tennessee or the Virgin Islands are eligible for consideration. For information on submissions, see Announcements.

 Winners of the awards are announced at the ARLIS/SE annual meeting normally held in late October or early November. Winners will be notified by mail and will be reported in various regional library and arts publications. There is no entry fee, but ARLIS/SE reserves the right to retain all works submitted for consideration. The winning publications are housed at the Duke University East Campus Library in Durham, NC.
