ABCD Awards 2024!
Last night (Thursday 7th March) saw the convergence of Britain’s best and brightest book cover designers at Gigi’s in Hoxton for the 11th Annual Academy of British Cover Design awards.
It was the first time being held in the bar upstairs and I think we were all grateful for the increase in space and the improved ventilation :)
Regular compere Jack Smyth was sadly unable to attend but the wonderful Nico Taylor did a brilliant job of hosting (and enforcing the house rule of ‘shut the f**k up’).
