Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

This book deals with a specialized yet important subject that is not fully addressed in other books on photography competitions. Benton, a retired Eastman Kodak chemist and himself a competitor, covers virtually every aspect of entering competitions, or salons, around the world, including the United States. The book defines and describes open photographic competitions, then addresses the mechanics of submission and judging. Readers will likely find the information on international competitions and the practical advice on submitting slides and prints to be of greatest value. There are also chapters on evaluating results and record keeping, as well as exhibition standards for the Photographic Society of America and the Photographic Alliance U.S.A. Useful to both advanced amateurs and professionals, this book is recommended for libraries with substantial photography collections.ARaymond Bial, Parkland Coll. Lib., Champaign, IL
