Get your entries ready... A new LensWork Community Book project for 2024 that will be our 9th publication of the excellent work from our LensWork readers!
Now accepting entries! Deadline for entries is Sunday October 20, 2024 Midnight The book will be completed and printed in Nov 2024, and mailed in December 2024. *New for 2024* There are a number of important differences this year compared to previous years. New this year! There is no subject theme this year as we've done in the past. Instead, we are looking for your very best work — your Legacy images or projects. All work is acceptable for entry — whenever you photographed it! All subjects are acceptable, all formats, all treatments, all creative visions. New this year! You get to choose what type of presentation — single images, trilogies, or a "Seeing in SIXES" project. The finished book will include all of these! New this year! This year's book will be published as an expanded (more pages) LensWork #170, December 2024. New this year! All subscribers to LensWork will receive this book whether or not you enter. If you are not a subscriber to LensWork, you can still enter, and books will be available to you to purchase. We will have discount prices for pre-publication. Unlike in past years, you will not receive a book automatically — which has allowed us to lower the entry fee substantially. New this year! For the first time ever, we will be publishing selected work in both the printed issue #170 of LensWork and as an expanded downloadable PDF with lots more images and projects! New this year! Choose your entry format! All entries are the same price ($30) regardless of the format: You have single images? You can enter up to three images for a single entry fee of $30 You have three-image "trilogies" like we published in 2022? You can enter 2 "trilogies" projects for a single entry fee of $30. You have a fantastic "Seeing in SIXES" project you'd like to enter? You can enter a single Seeing in SIXES project (obviously 6 images) for a single entry fee of $30. There is no limit on how many entries you can submit. For example, you could enter 3 single images for $30, two "Trilogies" projects for $30, and a "Seeing in SIXES" project for $30. Each entry will be reviewed individually regardless of how many entries you make. Each photographer can appear in the final publications only one time.
