Viewbook PhotoStory call for entries

June 25, 2009 Viewbook PhotoStory, a new contemporary photography contest opened its submissions today, challenging all documentary and conceptual photographers around the world to submit their most compelling series of photographs.

Every photographer; student, amateur or pro can easily submit their series free of charge using a 60 day Viewbook Pro account. An international jury consisting of Marcel Feil, (curator of FOAM museum) Lauren Heinz (Editor Foto8) and Alison Zavos (editor Featureshoot.com) and other industry professionals judge the photo stories on their overall impact and photographic excellence. The winning photographers receive lifelong subscriptions, publications and exhibitions. The best photo series get published in the Viewbook PhotoStory 2009 book.

All entries appear on the www.viewbookphotostory.com website, where everyone can view the photographic narratives and vote on their favorites. This way the public decides which photographers win the special public prices.

Viewbook PhotoStory is initiated by Viewbook.com and GUP magazine, backed up by Blurb, Workbook and many supporters. The organization encourages photographers to submit their work as early as possible to get the most out of the public voting. Submissions close on 1 October 2009.
