Photography Book Now

For all you self-publishers out there, Blurb’s ‘Photography Book Now’ (PBN) is open for entries. This is a chance for you to get recognised for your artistic endeavours in putting together books through Blurb, with the chance of winning a whole host of prizes, including a grand prize of $25,000.

There are also top winners for each category, and first- and second-runners up in each category. Also, the ‘people’ get to chime in and vote for their favorites for the People’s Choice Award.

So far, PBN have received more than 800 submissions from over 25 countries. You can see the latest entries at the PBN bookstore. You can also head over to their blog to get inspired. There’s a post on what makes a winning photo book by Darius Himes (the lead judge) and another post on last year’s PBN winners and what they’re up to (assignments, grants, etc).

The deadline for 2010 PBN entries is 15th July so you still have time. If your book is ready to go, you can go ahead and enter now. Good luck!

      Do they pay you to put all this advertising on your site? I find all the mentions of Blurb, LiveBooks etc to be quite distasteful. It’s as if you’ve been “bought”.

      Thanks for giving us a heads up; I am not yet ready for this year’s competition, but I do plan to enter next year’s.
