SoCal PhotoExchange

Photography.Book.Now has just announced a Call for Entries in their Second annual Self published photography book competition. The Grand Prize is again $25,000, which last year went to Both Dow for her project “In the Garden“, which I had reviewed here. The lead book jurist is Darius Himes, current co-founder of Radius Books, New Mexico.

This is a great opportunity to get your self-published book some wonderful visibility, but this international competition will be daunting, as there were 2,000 books submitted last year in 2008.

The deadline for your book submission is July 16th, so if you have been thinking about creating a self-published photographic book, it’s now time to “get ‘er done”. And if you have recently self-published a book, think about it’s potential for this competition.
