Yep, you read right Blurb is giving away $25,000 in Prizes to the Grand Prize winner!! :ivar:ivar:ivar

SmugMug is one of the sponsors for the Photography.Book.Now contest: http://www.photographybooknow.com/

Presented by Blurb, Photography.Book.Now celebrates the most creative, most innovative, and finest photography books – and the people behind them.

This competition is juried by a panel of world-renowned editors, publishers, curators, and photographers, led by head judge Darius Himes.

Photography books can be entered in two categories, General and Themed. Enter as many books as you’d like. The winners will be showcased at an awards ceremony in San Francisco, and their books will travel via an international salon to New York, London, and Cologne. They will also have visibility online and at the half-day symposium featuring panels and presentations exploring photography books.

Get more information on the jurors, entry rules, event dates, locations, and prize levels at www.photographybooknow.com. The deadline for submissions is July 14, 2008.

Look forward to seeing some great work!

    It would be a huge committment for anyone to take this on (a dgrin/lps book). Maybe we could have a few rounds for the sole purpose of a book?

    This contest sounded like a really cool idea..........until I read the 35.00 entry fee. Yikes! Still a good idea, just a suprise about the fee.
