What juries look for in photobook photography
- Sequence and pacing across spreads.
- Design and materials that serve the work.
- A complete, considered object, even as a dummy.
How to prepare your entry
Budget for shipping a physical dummy and for its return. Many awards require copies to arrive before the deadline, not just to be sent by it.
Before you pay a fee
Read whether winning includes publication costs or only a contribution. Compare carefully with the entry fee.
Every listing on Photographers First shows the deadline in your time zone, the fee in your currency, the prize as stated by the organizer, and a direct link to the official rules. Pro members also get advanced filters by fee, prize and country, unlimited saved contests, and an entry tracker for deadlines and spending. See what Pro adds.
