\"Fading Light\" Juried Photo Competition

Open to Interpretation is now calling on photographers to submit images for consideration in a juried book competition.

Project Details
Open to Interpretation is a collaborative book project bringing together photographers, poets and writers. Each book begins with a themed call for photos. The chosen photos become the literary inspiration for the writers\' submissions.

The unique collaboration adds new dimensions to both the photos and the written word.
