Best Book Design from all over the World: Migrant Marseille

We feel extremely happy and honoured that Migrant Marseille, edited by Marc Angélil, Charlotte Malterre-Barthes, and Something Fantastic has been awarded an Honorable Appreciation in the international competition “Best Book design from all the World”!

The competition evaluates books that have previously been awarded prizes in their respective countries of origin. And Migrant Marseille, which had previously been awarded “one of the most beautiful books from Germany,” was among the hundreds of award-winning titles from more than 30 countries that competed in this international contest.

The highest award given by the jury is the »Golden Letter«. In addition, one »Gold Medal«, two »Silver Medals«, five »Bronze Medals« and five »Honorary Appreciations« has been selected.

Congratulations to all awarded designers, publishers, authors and editors.
