The International Library of Photography was founded to provide a vehicle for amateur photographers to gain exposure through publication of their photos in our hardbound anthologies and on our Internet site (www.picture.com). Our philosophy has always been that photography is a form of artistic expression that is shared and enjoyed by many people, and should be available to everyone.
The International Library of Photography sponsors open amateur photography contests and online contests several times yearly. Thousands of people enter our contests. Each year, approximately 400 contest entrants win cash prizes and 1,200 win gift prizes. There is an Annual Grand Prize of $10,000.00. Each individual contest awards a $1,000.00 Grand Prize, forty First Prizes of gifts with a retail value of at least $35.00, four in each category and seventy-three Second Prizes of gifts with a retail value of at least $25.00 each without regard to category. Duplicate prizes are awarded in case of ties. Every day, we also award two $50.00 puzzle prizes for a total of 730 additional prizes each year. The International Library of Photography offers the world’s largest prize fund available to amateur photographers. Over the past five years, our organization has awarded over $75,000.00 in cash to amateur artists throughout the world.
Our anthologies are distributed internationally. All our books are registered with the Library of Congress and are available for order through retail and online bookstores and libraries (the title and ISBN numbers are needed to place an order with a bookstore). Photographers retain all rights to their photographs.
The International Library of Photography is now the largest publisher of amateur photography in the world.
