Each book begins with a themed call for photographs. The selected images become the literary inspiration for the writer's submissions, from which two are chosen to accompany each image. The subsequent pairing of photographs and written pieces, culimates in the publicaiton of a high-quality, fine art book.  Each book is a two-part process. The photography call for entry comes first. The judge's results will be posted on-line. Writers and poets will then be invited to view the images and submit stories or poems that are inspired by the posted images.                                           * New Award levels effective with Fading Light book
