Win $25,000 to publish your own book! Photography.Book.Now, Submission deadline July 14th, 2008

Great contest that I've found via Dexinger. Win $25,000 to publish your own book! This makes me want to take more pictures (of things other then jewellery)!

The Photography.Book.Now International Salon and Symposium seeks entries for a new photography book competition celebrating self-published photography books and the photographers behind them. The grand prize award is $25,000 to finish - or start - a photography project of the winner's choice.

Photographer and photography book expert Darius Himes will lead a panel of editors, publishers, curators, and photographers who will jury the Photography.Book.Now competition. Photographers are invited to submit their most creative, most innovative, and finest self-published photography books. Entries will be accepted in two categories, General and Themed. Complete entry guidelines and rules are available at photographybooknow.com.

Photography.Book.Now includes a traveling salon showcasing the competition's winning books, and a half-day symposium featuring panels and presentations exploring the modern photography book movement.

To enter, photographers must submit their photography books by July 14, 2008.
