RMABA is a proud partner of the Taylor C. Kirkpatrick Prize for Book Collecting, a program that recognizes and encourages young book collectors. The prize is offered annually by Denver bibliophile and philanthropist, Taylor Kirkpatrick.

​

The prize is open to young book collectors under 30 who reside in Colorado. All collections of books, manuscripts, and ephemera are welcome, no matter their monetary value or subject.

Applicants are encouraged to submit their thoughtful, creative collections for consideration. Collections will be judged on their thoroughness, the approach to their subject, and the seriousness which with the collector has catalogued their materials. Deadline is March 31 of each year.
