Photobook CollectionContributions

Our photobook collections intention is to build one of the most diverse, and inclusive, free public access photobook collections in the world. Accessible to everyone to explore and be a part of. Our aim is to champion photographers and small publishers by giving a platform for promotion and shared collective learning.

What are we looking for? 

We are after personal projects that reflect a photographer's artistic output, whether that be a personal or commercial project. This can encompass any genre of photography, method of binding/printing and selected publishing house, we look for uniqueness and cherish alternative or low fi printing quality:

• Mainly self-published photobooks, zines or magazines.

• Your first published photobook, zine or magazine.

• Works published through small publishers will also be considered but we want this to be about the individual artistic expression.

• Small publishing houses and those supporting emerging photographers.

• Unusual photobooks, zines or magazines and those less likely to achieve large publishing deals.

• Any genres of photography, if you don’t see your photobook suiting our preexisting collections let us know, we may be able to create a new collection.

• Alternative binding, cover and design methods are welcomed.

The books must not contain offensive material (we are not easily offended but will not tolerate anything that is grossly offensive or indecent or that would contravene any publishing laws in the UK).

The copyright of all images in photobooks, zines or magazines must be held by the author or they must have permission to use them.

All images that you upload must be of a suitable quality, as set out in the contribution form specification.
