Welcome to the 23rd annual edition of The Black Book AR100 & CSR Award Show, the country's largest and most prestigious design competition for annual reports. We are pleased to include the best in corporate sustainability and social responsibility reports, reflecting a growing trend in corporate communication and commitment to environmental responsibility. Check out AR100 "Big Fish" and their unique aesthetic in creating an annual report.

Every Year you will find the top talented creative professionals. We collect hundreds of entries and ask expert art directors, designers, writers, and printers to seriously scrutinize the submissions. Our panel of judges look for the most innovative design, typography, information graphics, photography, illustration, paper use, and printing. It's a long day and an intense discussion and debate for each report until the panel reaches a consensus on the top AR100.

Top Talent collectively features the small pool of "Big Fish" who demonstrate the ability to produce an informative product that is executed with a keen design concept. The Black Book distributes the AR100 to thousands of designers and corporate communicators who continually look to source "the best of the best" production teams for future annual reports.

Special Thanks to our founding sponsor Neenah Paper and Kolegram designers. Additionally, thank you to those that made this event possible: Our talented entrants and judges from Design Army, Kodak, Ramsey Press and Real Design Associates, la.venue, Tanqueray No. 10, and Liam Alexander Photography. We hop this showcase continues to provide inspiration.
