荷蘭每年約出版15000本的書籍中，挑選出33本書，作為年度「荷蘭最美麗的書」。獲得此獎項的書籍內容廣泛，除了一般讀物外，還有博物館出版品、城市規劃地圖、食譜、演講海報等等。這些作品除了有機會在荷蘭當地展出外，也會受邀到各國展覽。
The Best Dutch Book Designs / Best Verzorgde Boeken
時間回溯到1926年，荷蘭最美麗的書（Best Verzorgde Boeken）是歐洲歷史上最為久遠的圖書比賽。有幾年暫停舉行所以目前2016年為第58屆。「Verzorgde」這個單字雖然看似有點老派，卻從未被更改過，因為評審團獎勵的第一要件就是書，而非設計。所有精心製作的書籍皆包含內容與素材的整合，是由出版社、設計師及印刷產業的通力合作，而評選的角度的也不斷地產生變化。 荷蘭每年大約出版15,000本書籍，而每年荷蘭的出版商、設計師及印刷產業只會逾三百本書籍參與競賽。評審團由五人組成：通常是一位出版商、兩位設計師、一位印刷師或裝幀師，而第五位則從書商、研究書本的歷史學家、博物館策展人、或是書籍設計評論者之中擇一擔任。評審委員的共同評選規則與標準會減至最低限度，使其擁有較多的彈性。評委們雖然都是以書本的實體為主，但在挑選的過程中，他們更注重於內容與形式間的連結，如此一來每位評委皆可自由決他們注重的點 。 每年評選出至多33本為《荷蘭最美麗的書》，而被評選出來的書包含有一般書籍、博物館出版品、少量出版的書籍和個人獨立出版品。這些得獎的書將會在阿姆斯特丹市立博物館 Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam 以及荷蘭各地及海外各處展出，另外年度報告書，記事本設計等，較不屬於書籍類別的紙本也會列入評選的內容。
Dating back to 1926, the yearly judging of the Dutch Best Verzorgde Boeken is the oldest in it’s kind in Europe. Due to several interruptions, the selection of books published in 2016 is the 58th one. The somewhat old-fashioned expression best verzorgd (best cared for) has never been dropped because of the fact that what the juries award in the first place, are books, not only their design. Each well-made book is a meeting between content and material, the result of a cooperation between a commissioner (mostly a publisher), a designer and the graphic industry. The role of the various participants is ever-changing. Each year Dutch publishers, designers and printers submit over 300 books to be judged. The jury consists mostly of a publisher, two designers and a printer or binder, the fifth jury member being alternately a bookseller, a book historian, a museum curator or a writer on the subject. The rules and criteria by which the jury is tied are kept to a minimum. The members of the jury are invited to select books that are excellent in their physical appearance and in doing this they are to keep an eye on the correlation between form and content. Thus each jury is free to develop their own emphasis, to decide which annual report or desk agenda is to be considered a book and which not, and to select certain books which it considers not to be missed in spite of certain shortcomings. The selection of the year consists of 33 books at maximum. In the selection trade books are confronted with museum publications, corporate editions with private initiatives. The books are being exhibited at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and several other places in the Netherlands and abroad. Recently the number of expositions tends to increase. In 2012 Premsela, the Netherlands Institute for Design and Fashion started the traveling exhibition The Best of Dutch Book Design with last year’s Best Dutch Book Designs as it’s main part. Besides that the selection is brought together each year in a bi-lingual book, The Best Dutch Book Designs / De Best Verzorgde Boeken. This catalogue presents the selected books in words – the judges reporting on each book separately – images and technical data. These ingredients are presented in a different way each year due to the catalogue being designed by a different graphic designer. The contribution of the Dutch graphic industry in the coming about of this catalogue is not to be overseen.
