[BPB] 2014 Boards Photobook Sign-up Now!

Tiriel

***Sign up link below***
We missed out on the Photobook last November for a variety of reasons and have decided to kick it off now to do a fundraiser for the Santa Strike Force.

The book is open to all members of the Photography forum - whether you post regularly, used to post or you’re simply a lurker - the more the merrier. The book will raise money which will go towards making kids in hospitals and care centres much happier - be it through toys, games, or improved play facilities - the Santa Strike Force do great work each year.

To submit a photo in the book and have it published in a snazzy hardback Photobook along with up to 60 others, please complete the form below, which will need to be closely followed with (1) your photograph and (2) payment.

(1) Photograph details:

• 300ppi
• sRGB or RGB
• Landscape format is best (book is landscape) but square/portrait shots can be included, however they will be printed on a landscape page.

Photos are to be emailed to boardsbook @ gmail . com (no spaces)

We aim for the fully designed book to be submitted to the printer by 8th May, giving us a launch date of 30th May. Cabansail has kindly offered to design the book this year.

The absolute cut-off date for participating this year is 17th April 2015.

(2) Payment details:

Total Cost: €20

This includes the book & a €5 donation to the Santa Strike Force. If you are unable to collect your book at the book launch, you can collect your copy from the Boards.ie HQ or arrange postage if required.

How to make payment: When you are sending us your photograph, advise us which method you are paying by and we will give you either a bank account number (for bank transfer) or a paypal address.

For Paypal - you MUST select gift. Otherwise we get hit with charges and it means less money for charity. If this happens we will reject the payment and ask you to submit it again.

(3) Book Launch
The launch date will be 30th May in the new boards.ie HQ office on South William Street, Dublin 2.

We are open to suggestions on the launch day also - in previous years we had a print auction, another year we had a print swap, a Quick Shot event and a raffle. If you have any ideas of fun events that people would enjoy whilst proceeds go to the SSF, please do get in touch.

But, but, but, you just got POTW???

I'll see if I can find a portrait that might fit nicely on a landscape page.

Do I read correctly that there is a max of 60 pages?

There is no selection process. You submit an image which you want to have included.

If you do get a chance to flick across an image we would like to have you in the book. Fully understand if you are not able as well.


Doing the layout I am, of course, also in.

Hope my signup via the Google doc worked - did it on my phone.

Is the PayPal address the same as the gmail email address? PayPal thinks it's not correct.

Tiriel

We have you aidanic :-)

Does the photo have to be from 2014

No limits

The only reason we would be rejecting a photo would be if it was entirely inappropriate for some reason. Generally, it's for people of all levels - from beginner to professional and everyone in between.

What makes the book so nice to browse is the sheer mix of styles, colour/b&w and subject matter.

flyingsnail

Quick question for you, when you say Photograph (with Title & Details) what details are you looking for

CabanSail

A caption you want to appear under your photo. Normally a short description or information about the photo.

Tiriel

Yep for example:

Title: Dublin by night
Description: A long exposure taken on the Samuel Beckett bridge.

You don't have to provide a description, but it's nice when browsing the book to read about the shot I think!

It's seeing feedback like this from a parent who has a sick child, that makes the Photobook so important Anything we can give to the Santa Strike Force, helps them to do this great work for kids.

Yep! Payment details will be sent to everyone shortly!

Count me in too. I'll send details by tomorrow at the latest.

obrano

Guys, I sent on my photo already. I didn't realise that it could be any photo. The one I've sent on is not in landscape format so I don't think it would flow well in the book. Can I send on another image and scrap the one I've sent on? Really looking forward to seeing the book. It is great to be involved and for such a worthy cause.

CabanSail

Not a problem.

(Just as long as you buy a second book )

Send away!!!

obrano

Haha, I might just do that. I'll send on the replacement tomorrow. Thanks!
