2024 BELMA Newsletter No 1: BELMA competition 2024 is now open!

You'll find the relevant dates here: Dates, Conditions and pricing for participating.

Again, as in past years, the good news is that there is a 10% discount for all products entered before April 19th. This applies to first entries as well as the already discounted additional entries.

The spreads and images that are needed to illustrate your entry - like title pages, spreads etc. - you are asked to upload during the registration process. You should also upload a PDF version of your product. Please use a tool to reduce the file size without loosing quality like PDF Squeezer.App (for MacOS) or use this web-based tool:
https://pdfcompressor.com The file reduction achieved can be massive, like 70 - 90%.

If you want to showcase the quality of your printed book despite having sent a PDF, please send ONE setof the most important components of your title to Prof. Dr. Dr. Péter Bagoly-Simó's address at the bottom of this page.

Please do not hesitate to contact Diana if you are not sure which category to enter your product in or if you have have other questions.

We wish everybody the best of luck and look forward to receiving as many, or even more, interesting new products as in previous years.

Please note that you can access the checklist for online Belma registration here. If you are registring for the first time in a BELMA competition, it is a good idea to consult this how-to first.

If you are already familiar with the registration process you can jump right into it.
