Now is the time to break out your creative genius. Make and enter a photography book, or enter one you've already made. This year, we have four categories: Fine Art, Documentary, Travel, and—for the first time ever—a Student category.
And here's another first: In addition to a $25,000 grand prize, we'll be awarding $5,000 to each category winner.

Attend the Crisis of the Real discussion on Tuesday, April 19th, 7pm at Pittsburgh Filmmakers Library and either email me your thoughts or post them on your blog. I will up one of your project grades by a full letter.
Join us in the Library for a discussion about the crisis of the real in media. This will be an open discussion moderated by Head Librarian Jess Weichler and Associate Professor John Cantine of Pittsburgh Filmmakers.
We will be discussing the effect of digital manipulation on the historical relationship between film, video, photographic images and reality. In the age of Photoshop and AfterEffects can any image have the impact that comes from observing a moment of captured reality? Have film, video, and photographic images ever conveyed reality? Has the method of manipulation simply become more sophisticated?
