The jurors of the Photography.Book.Now 2009 competition have been announced. We wrote about this $25,000 competition at the beginning of this month, when it opened, saying, “the contest celebrates self-published photography books and the photographers behind them”. The lead judge, Darius Himes, was already known back then, but the organisers now named the other jurors as well. Read on to find out who they are.

Head Judge:
Darius Himes - Radius Books

Judges:
Dana Faconti - Blind Spot
Dr. Anthony Bannon - George Eastman House
Vince Aletti - Critic

Karen Hangsen - Rizzoli

The Photography.Book.Now competition still accepts entries, with the closing date being 16:00pm BST on the 16th July, 2009.
