In celebration of “the most innovative and finest self-published books and the people behind them” Blurb has launched The Photography.Book.Now International Salon and Symposium. Photographers can submit their books to compete for a number of prizes, with a grand prize of $25,000. Photography.Book.Now includes a traveling salon showcasing the winners of the book competition. The salon will be on view at the San Francisco Awards Ceremony, international Meet-ups, and at the Photography.Book.Now symposia in San Francisco, London, and New York.

Blurb was one of the innovative companies exhibiting at the SXSW Interactive / Film Trade Show + Exhibition this year. Contact Katie King to learn how your company can get exposure at the 2009 SXSW Interactive Festival.
