Blurb book contest

I thought some of you might be interested in this contest (click here).

Print-on demand book publisher Blurb has announced its third annual international Photography Book Now competition with a chance to win a US $25,000 cash prize. Participants must design a photo book in one of three categories, using the company's software. A soft copy or three hard copies must then be submitted with an entry fee of US $35 per category. Category winners will receive a Sony DSLR-A850 plus 28-75mm f/2.8 lens amongst other goodies, with the top prize awarded to the best of those three winners. Entries need to be submitted before July 15, 2010.

  1. Erik,

    I entered before, it's easy enough if you have already designed a book with them just to click to submit your book design that is already uploaded. On the downside, the competition is enormous, and I wonder how they judge? I would think it has more to do with the originality and appeal of your design then simply the quality of your photos. But, why not enter if you think you have made something special?!

  2. Seems like any contest is hit or miss and you can never know what they are looking for. But if you want to make a book anyway, it cant hurt to enter. It can just cost you the entry fee :)

  3. I agree, if you are willing to flip the cost you never know -- and you've got to believe in your own work!
