What’s Up Wednesday!

500 Found-Object Works
Juror: Suzie Millions
Editor: Suzanne Tourtillott

Entry deadline: March 15, 2009
Lark Books seeks one-of-a-kind images of found-object art to publish in a juried collection representing the most creative examples in this exciting genre. While material options are endless (recycled/repurposed wood, paper, plastics, electronics and the like), we will accept only professional quality photography. Due to trademark considerations, very few works featuring recognizable brand names or logos will be accepted. This publication is scheduled for release in Fall 2010. There is no entry fee.
