I am a little late on this, but AIGA and Design Observer recently announced the winners of 50 Books | 50 Covers for 2017. This year’s jury consisted of Rodrigo Corral, Carin Goldberg, Maricris Herrera, and Jessica Helfand. The 50 books are here; the 50 covers here.
My 2017 covers list, which has, admittedly, something of a different scope, can be found here.
