ABOUT THE LUCIE PHOTO BOOK PRIZE 

The Lucie Photo Book Prize is a juried competition open to a diversity of submissions - from published to prototype to hand-made books.  The awards will be presented to photographers, editors, curators or publishers  who have created such projects anywhere in the world within the last 24 months of our public call, starting July 25. The Lucie Foundation is proud to offer two cash prizes to the top two finalists for their outstanding work - one Traditional $3,000 cash prize and one Independent $2,000 cash prize. The Traditional Prize will be awarded to a photographer, editor, curator or publisher whose book is commercially produced and distributed. The Independent Prize will be awarded to a photographer, editor, curator or publisher whose book is published and distributed independently. The Lucie Photo Book Prize will coincide with the Lucie Foundation’s  programming in New York City this fall, which includes the prestigious 15th Annual Lucie Awards, the 3rd  annual Lucie Technical Awards and our sister-effort, the International Photography Awards Best of Show.  The top 30 finalists will have their work displayed at Splashlight Studios in New York City on October 28, 2017.
