Photography Book Now is an international-juried self-published book competition, and a celebration of the most creative, most innovative, and finest photography books – and the people behind them.
Gather your best work, create your finest photography book, and toss your hat in the ring for a chance to win $25,000 and worldwide kudos.
http://photographybooknow.blurb.com/awardsDeadline for entry is 11:59 p.m. PDT on Thursday, July 15, 2010.
The 2010 Photography Book Now competition has three categories in which you can enter — Fine Art, Editorial, and Portfolio. Enter as many books as you like. Submission fee applies to each entry.
Fine Art
The field of contemporary art is the arena to which many photographers aspire, and the photography book is a central means of expression within that field. Entries in this category celebrate the photography book as an experience that is more than just the sum of its parts, regardless of whether your working methods are conceptual or stylistic, whether your aesthetic is deadpan or modernist, whether your artistic practice is rooted in the home or in the world of performance.
Editorial
Photography has a rich history of telling compelling narratives, especially in book form. If your work is rooted in the documentary tradition or is based on a long-term project, this is the category for your book.
Portfolio
The portfolio book reveals the depth and breadth of your photographic vision, and does so with style and eye-catching brilliance. Whether it was work produced for a commercial project or images that spring from your creative core, the portfolio translated into book form allows you to showcase the best of what makes you a creative photographer.
How it works: Renowned experts review the entries and after a lot of coffee and discussion, they choose the grand prize winner, the top winners in each category, and first- and second-runners up in each category.
And, you – the people – get to chime in and vote on your favorites for the People’s Choice Award.
Grand Prize: $25,000
