Highly Commended
Designer Fergus Barrowman (Victoria University Press) Title Snow White's Coffin by Kate Camp Publisher Victoria University Press Format 210 x 148mm, 72pp, paperback
Judges’ Comments This cover has a quality of unexpectedness that is instantly beguiling. The SK4 is a sufficiently beautiful artefact in its own right that its appearance on the cover of a volume of poetry, while initially puzzling, is a good surprise. The fact that the record player is called 'Snow White's coffin' only underlines the wit, and the boldness of the choice.
