Would like to know what award that was.

They publish some interesting and diverse books, but the layout and artwork are at best enthusiastic amateur.

It's very hard for small publishers, if they aren't a ripoff vanity press or reformatting public domain text they've scraped from Gutenberg or Internet Archive. Or genre-of-the-month stuff like zombies/gay werewolves/LitRPG/survivalist gun porn. So still give them kudos for services to literature. But do your typesetting elsewhere.
Purportedly, the IBPA's own Benjamin Franklin Award. Presumably in Interior Design. I can't find them in the last 4 years of award winners, but it's unlikely that they'd claim it if it weren't true...I mean, the IBPA might take a dim view of that.

But I can't find anything else. (If their website is any indicator of design skills, though....oish. I mean, mine is no great shakes, but, Moses on a Pony!)

FWIW.
