Open to Interpretation - Juried Book Competition

There is a local art competition that features both images and the written word called "Open to Interpretation". The result of each competition is a book that is produced containing the selected works. The book features the winning photos with the prose that best describes each image. The process is described as:

Each book begins with a themed call for photos. The chosen photos become the literary inspiration for the writers’ submissions. A book is created that matches each winning photo with two stories or poems that offer different interpretations of the image. The unique collaboration adds new dimensions to both the photos and the written word.

The current competition is titled Water's Edge. This competition opened for written submissions on June 25th and has an entry deadline of September 20th. A second competition titled "Intimate Landscapes" is open for images until October 18th after which it will be opened up for written submissions.
