BERRIED Alive
I am addicted to blackberries and raspberries. I dare say that I would consume them at EVERY meal if I was financially able to afford them that often. And, many of you know that I am addicted to my BlackBerry as well. I never could be convinced to make the leap to iPhone and have remained jealous of the photo apps available. Until now… I have found a couple of great photo apps for Blackberry, and my shots are getting better by the day as a result. I wonder if a cell phone pic could take the cover of this Juried Book Competition featured in this Call for Entries? Hmmm… sounds like a challenge.
Check out this Call for Entries from the Open to Interpretation juried book competition Intimate Landscape. Have your work become the artistic inspiration for a literary masterpiece today!
CALL for ENTRIES: Open to Interpretation
Open to Interpretation is a juried book competition of photography, poetry, fiction and creative non-fiction. 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.
