2K/DENMARK are proud to have been a driving force behind the establishment of the Society of Bible Craftsmanship (SoBC). The society celebrates beauty, creativity, and innovation in Bible publishing, and its mission is to nurture and highlight excellence in the industry and help the general reader discover and appreciate all that goes into the finest examples of Bible craftsmanship—in all languages and media. 

A central task of the society is to gather and exhibit new Bible publications from around the world. The society's awards program will recognise the finest work in a broad range of categories, with winners exhibited at Museum of the Bible in Washington, DC. 

“We are living in a golden age of Bible publishing,” said J. Mark Bertrand, chair of the Society’s Award Committee. “The landscape has never been more exciting, and the Society of Bible Craftsmanship aims to raise awareness of the work of Bible craftsmen, encouraging professionals in the industry and recognising excellence in the field.”

"The knowledge of the craftsmanship of 2,000 years of handwritten Bibles and 500 years of printed Bibles is exciting in itself," said Klaus E. Krogh, President of the Society of Bible Craftsmanship, "Still, it is only when this knowledge becomes an active design foundation for today's craftsmen that we ensure future Bibles also present Scripture readably, functionally, and with gentle authority."

In partnership with publishers and industry professionals, the society will host events and virtual seminars through Museum of the Bible to explore every aspect of craftsmanship, illuminating the work of translators and editors, designers and typographers, printers and bookbinders, and many others.
