PHOTOBOOK 2013, an annual competition, is open to photographers in the United States and abroad* who have self-published a photography book via printing/publishing firms or on-demand (blurb, lulu, viovio, iphoto, etc.) that produces commercial quality printing and binding.

Entrants may submit up to three different titles that are self-published photography books of any size, format, or style: hard cover, soft cover, case-wraps, landscape, portrait, square, color, black and white.

Submissions will be judged on the basis of: cover design, strength of the photography, subject matter of the book, page layouts, editing and sequencing and emotional impact of the overall book. All judging is at the complete discretion of the gallery and all decisions of the gallery are final.

The online catalog will not sell books but rather direct the buyer to your online storefront or your website. The catalog will remain on the Davis Orton Gallery website for a year. The gallery will take no commission for sales from the catalog or for hosting the catalog.
