Boards.ie Photobook 2015

05-02-2015 05:00PM#1Hello folks.
OK, so the Photo Book didn't get sorted last year, so I said I'd help out.
So lets get the ball rolling.
We need submissions, yea? We also need to get the thing printed - that's quite easy, just a matter of getting it at a decent price that's the stickler. We'll probably want a panel of people to go through the submissions and pick the cream of the crop I suppose, yea? I know almost nothing about photography, but I know what I like, the Boards Photo Book has never disappointed me with the quality and "wow" factor of images, but I'd rather have at least 2 pairs of expert eyes help out if possible
Am I missing anything obvious?5

I'm definitely in! Also, a book is far better than a calendar, though I'd support both together
I believe their should be some screening of submissions to ensure that images are appropriate for the intended audience, though generally most people are grown up about this.0 -

I'll certainly be exercising veto powers on anything I don't think appropriate, but as was done before, I'd rather go back to the person who submitted and ask for another and not cast them out like some sort of pariah
Yep, that's what we did in cases before - even if in some cases 2 people submitted very similar photos. We gave the option to the second person to change their image.
Dav - Ceacg did some work on this last year rounding up quotes and prices for printers, so I'm just looking at those at the moment. If you have any other ideas for printers can you send them on to me? Or do you want to look into that - happy for you to do it if you wish 0 -

I think by Veto they just mean things like that, rather than 'Hey, that image is crap, it's not going into this book...'
Yep, quality is not a deciding factor in the images. A photographer can put forward any picture they want irrespective of quality. I've not yet put forward a photograph because it's had some minor acclaim, I've put forward photographs that I personally love.
(Edit: Sorry mystic86, I misread your post and have just changed my post here to support rather than contradict you. I blame rum for my inadequacies. I may not have been drinking at the time but I still blame rum. )
I've been to several burlesque fundraisers.but overtly sexual content for a charity book focused on the betterment of children would certainly be misaligned with the intent. I'm older than Minecraft goats.

Surprisingly Boardsphotobook@gmail.com was available to create!
If whoever is collecting the photos needs an email account for it I can hand it over
I really should do some work

If there is nobody local I could probably do the layout with InDesign CC
That could work! The print company have come back to say that they may be able to assist us.. so that might be an option but I'm just concerned it will impact price, need to go back and confirm that.
So.. all systems are ready to ramp up. I'll open a new thread for sign-up once I've finalised costs/details and we can get the ball rolling - here's to the 2015 book!0 -
