27 April 2023

The Kraszna-Krausz Book Awards has announced its long list for the 2023 awards honoring excellence in both still and moving picture publishing. Two winning titles are selected annually, with prize money of 10,000 divided equally between the winning title in the Photography category and the winning title in the Moving Image category.

The 2023 Awards welcomed 269 submissions, the highest in its history and a significant increase on previous years' totals.

"This year's record number of entries says much about the continuing popularity of the Kraszna-Krausz awards and the high esteem in which they are held," said Sir Brian Pomeroy CBE, chair of the Kraszna-Krausz Foundation. "The longlists are made up of diverse and inspiring books, fully maintaining the standards of excellence to which we have become accustomed throughout the nearly 40 years over which these prizes have been awarded."

Themes including sleep, grief, identity, race, community and the environment make up the 20 longlisted titles for the 38th edition of the awards.
