The London Book Fair International Excellence Awards 2016, awarded jointly with the UK Publishers Association (PA), are granted in 14 different categories and are designed to identify the best international initiatives and events related to the book industry. They are also rewarded to international academic publishers as well as those specializing in children’s literature and translated works and initiatives connected to digital innovation in the field of literature. A group of experts in each respective field is elected to judge the applicants.

The winners will be announced during a gala event on April 12, 2016 – the first day of the London Book Fair.
