The call for entries for Blurb‘s Photography Book Now contest has come and gone and all 1796 submissions have been posted online for everyone to browse through. Now it’s just up to the fine selection of jurors to decide who will go home with the $25,000 grand prize and other awards.
Well, it’s been long enough now for me to give a good look through the entries and select a few personal favorites. In no particular order, here are some deserving titles (taking into consideration concept, design and of course the photographs):
Johnstown by Ed Panar
Cairo Sunset by Misha de Ridder
Something is Happening by John Lehr
Public School by Victoria Hely-Hutchinson
How Can We Be So Different? by Nicola Kast
Reading by Talia Chetrit
3Situations by Bill Sullivan
Angry Black Snake by Michael Corridore
The Theatre of War by Patrick Lyn
After the Fall by Hin Chua
The Daughters of Job by Alison Malone
Human Nature by M. Alexis Pike
Mid-North by Grant Willing
Fjord (edited by Alana Celii and Grant Willing)
At a Loss by Shawn Records
All My Life I Have Had The Same Dream by Will Steacy
Davey by Brian Sorg
The Marine Layer by Peter Holzhauer
Ditch Plains by Joni Sternbach
Big Rock Candy Mountain by Tammy Mecure
I’ll keep it to myself, but the book that I feel should take home the grand prize is somewhere on the above list. There are plenty of other entries to consider, so take a look at them all and decide for yourself!
Best of luck to everyone.
