Open to Interpretation
A Juried Book Competition of Photography, Poetry and Prose
 

 

Welcome to Open to Interpretation

A good photograph tells a story. But it tells a slightly different story to every viewer. The stories are fleeting, disappearing from the viewers’ minds in the moments it takes to turn a page or walk to the next gallery. Open to Interpretation captures these stories, pairing fine art photographers and writers in an international juried book competition.

Open to Interpretation produces several books a year. 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. The unique collaboration adds new dimensions to both the photos and the written word. The current call for entries is for the following two books: Fading Light and Intimate Landscape.

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.

Our competition is an opportunity to have your work selected by judges prominent in their field — gallery owners, publishers, editors, renowned practitioners, leading consultants and others who can influence your growth as an artist. If selected there will be no additional cost for your participation. You'll receive a complimentary beautifully bound hard cover book printed by a custom book printer one that you will be proud to show your friends, family, and clients.
