Blurb's Annual Photo Book Competition!

Call for entries for the Photography Book Now competition!

All submissions must be photography books that are self-published either through Blurb or another self-publishing facilitator. I'm unfamiliar with using blurb or any other self-publisher to create photo books/portfolios as I don't really have enough solid work built up yet to do so. I am going to get nosey about it and see what this is all about. Wondering if it's a worthwhile investment down the road. hmmm...

Entry fee is $35USD per entry.

Deadline is July 15th.
