Press shortlisted in the 2021 British Book Awards

Cambridge University Press is proud to announce it has been shortlisted for the Academic, Educational and Professional Publisher of the Year in the 2021 British Book Awards.

All six publishers shortlisted were credited for their “evolution and innovation, using digital content and delivery not only to preserve their sales but to make home-based learning easier for grateful students, academics, and parents” last year.

The Press was recognized for its initiative to provide free access to many textbooks, worksheets and digital platforms, as well as practical advice for remote teaching and learning, during the pandemic. The launch of Higher Education from Cambridge University Press and the Cambridge Shakespeare platform, an accelerated transition to Open Access, and winning the first ever Sustainability Award at the IPG’s Independent Publishing Awards were also cited.

First launched in 1990 and now run by The Bookseller, the British Book Awards, or Nibbies, showcase and celebrate the best books, the best bookshops and the best publishers each year.

Winners will be announced at a virtual ceremony to be held 13 May.
