New in 2025: The digital publishing award goes international! Due to growing interest in English-language content and the closely interlocked publishing scene world wide, we're reorganizing the award. 

For the first time, the dpa will be an English-only event with an international jury and submissions from all over the world. 

​

The digital publishing award honors outstanding projects with which publishers and media companies are mastering the digital transformation. The focus is on innovations in the field of digital publishing: outstanding products, processes or business models that publishers, but also publishing-related players, use to publish their content. The Digital Leader(ship) category recognizes individuals who have made a significant contribution to digital publishing.

The dpa shines a light on the award winners and honors them as best practices and important examples of paths to the digital future of media use.

The prizes will be awarded at a major digital conference in October 2025 and the trophies will be presented at the Frankfurt Book Fair.

Prizes will be awarded in the following categories:

 

• Product / Business Model

• Process / Technology

• Personality / Digital Leader(ship)

• Startup
