2026 booooooom art & photo book award
Calling all artists, illustrators, and photographers! It’s the return of one of our most popular open calls, the Booooooom Art & Photo Book Award! Once again we are teaming up with our friends over at Bookmobile to offer the chance to have your work published as a standalone book for free! This year, we will be selecting 8 projects to bring to life —each by a different artist, illustrator, or photographer—at zero cost to the individual.
We will be selecting 6 projects to turn into books—each by a different artist, illustrator, or photographer—at zero cost to the individual. On top of that, we will also be choosing 2 additional projects to be turned into smaller perfect bound zines.
If you have a specific series or a cohesive selection of work that you want to turn into a book, we want to see it. We are looking for finished work as opposed to works-in-progress or otherwise incomplete projects. Members enjoy unlimited zine and book proposals.
We know it’s a dream for many of you to publish a book of your own work and this is a chance to do it without all the costs. These will be your books, not ours, so each of you will have full control of the design and layout. We will happily provide assistance/guidance if you need it, but the book design will ultimately be your responsibility.
