Dozen Books is the Israeli book design competition. It serves as a platform for showcasing high-quality book design to the general public, aiming to elevate the standard of graphic design in Israeli publishing. Each year, a jury selects twelve commercially, institutionally, or privately published books, alongside half a dozen special projects—specifically, graduation projects from design academies.

The winning books are submitted to the international Best Book Design from all over the World competition in Germany and are displayed in special exhibitions at the major book fairs in Leipzig and Frankfurt, after which they are deposited in the German National Library.

Dozen Books was founded in 2023 by Noam Schechter and a group of young female designers as the public-facing project of "Unified Book Design" (Itzuv Sfarim Meuchad)—Israel’s professional guild for book design. Both initiatives originated within the "Tachanat Kemach for Civic Entrepreneurship" incubator at Sha'ar HaAmakim.
