    Bruce Peel Special Collections received wonderful news that judges of the annual University & College Designers Association (UCDA) Design Competition have chosen three of the Peel library’s recently published exhibition catalogues for an Award of Excellence.

    The judges evaluated 1,060 print and digital entries for excellence in design, illustration, concept, typography, printing, and overall message; and in this year’s competition, they awarded 5 Gold Awards, 12 Silver Awards, and 198 Awards of Excellence.

    The award-winning publications will be on display at the 2018 UCDA Design Conference in Grand Rapids, Michigan from September 29 to October 2, where the winners will be recognized with certificates.

    “I commend our catalogue designers and Exhibitions & Collections Assistant Kevin Zak for their fine work, as well as the entire publication team (noted below) for their commitment to excellence.” says Robert Desmarais, Special Collections Librarian and Head of Bruce Peel Special Collections.
