Five winners. Twenty finalists. Four judges poring over more than a thousand entries from all over the world for two days. These are the numbers of Mohawk Show 9—an impressive collection of stellar design on superior paper.

To showcase this year’s contest winners, Mohawk Fine Papers  has published the Mohawk Show 9 Book, a 38-page full-color compendium of the delightful details surrounding the creators, the printers and the back-stories of these award-winning designs.

The top twenty-five pieces are extraordinarily varied but they all share basic attributes that guided the jury during their difficult but enjoyable task: thoughtful composition, beautiful typography, appropriate paper choice and a clearly communicated message.

They all have different stories to tell, and they tell them exceedingly well. They are compelling and meaningful. They have presence, intelligence and beauty. And they made the jurors stop time after time to pick them up, carefully turn their pages, see something new and say, yes, this is worth celebrating.

Request a Mohawk Show 9 Book and you too can join in the celebration.
