Holiday Catalog Cover Art Contest

Could your favorite Holiday title be our Holiday Catalog "look" this year?

If so, it could be worth $20,000.*

All publishers are invited to submit a digital front cover mockup

for the 2024 Holiday Catalogs.

Submissions due May 17, 2024

Independent booksellers will choose a winner by June 1. NAIBA, GLIBA, SIBA, and CALIBA Holiday Catalogs (print and digital) will feature the same design. No other books will appear on the front covers.
