Harvey Milk Photo Center Photo Book Open Call

The Harvey Milk Photo Center is developing a collection of photobooks from Bay Area artists within the David Johnson Reference Library and invites artists and publishers from the Bay Area to submit their books for consideration.

The selected books will be displayed in the David Johnson Reference Library at the Harvey Milk Photo Center in San Francisco. In addition, the books will be featured on our social media and will go into the permanent collection at the Center. Five books will be selected per cycle and will be judged by a committee from the Center.

Our aim is to promote and showcase a wide variety of photobooks. We are interested in photobooks independently or commercially published, including handmade, self-published, book dummies, zines, limited-edition publications, and other printed matters. Books that feature the work of more than one artist are also eligible for submission.

Submissions open April 8th and close May 8th. Notifications will go out on May 22nd.

Please submit the following below:

1. Your artist statement and a short description of the book including number of pages, approximate number of photos, dimensions, and materials
2. Six to ten images of your book
3. An up to date CV
4. Your website and social media handles
