Calling all artists, illustrators, and photographers! It’s the return of one of our most popular open calls, the Booooooom Art & Photo Book Award! Once again we are teaming up with our friends over at Bookmobile to offer the chance to have your work published as a standalone book for free! This year, we will be selecting 8 projects to bring to life —each by a different artist, illustrator, or photographer—at zero cost to the individual.

We will be selecting 6 projects to turn into books—each by a different artist, illustrator, or photographer—at zero cost to the individual. On top of that, we will also be choosing 2 additional projects to be turned into smaller perfect bound zines.

If you have a specific series or a cohesive selection of work that you want to turn into a book, we want to see it. We are looking for finished work as opposed to works-in-progress or otherwise incomplete projects. Members enjoy unlimited zine and book proposals. If you’re not a member you can learn more about becoming one here.

Even if you are not a member you are welcome to submit one (1) Zine proposal for FREE. To submit a full Book proposal however, you must either be a member or pay a fee. Members enjoy unlimited submissions to both the zine and book components.

Have a look below at some of the beautiful books and zines created by last year’s winners, and if you scroll to the bottom you can see more images and info about each project!
