As we approach the deadline for this year’s Booooooom Art & Photo Book Award, we’re taking a moment to look back at the 20+ projects we’ve helped bring to life as real printed books and zines over the past few years.
Seeing them all together is pretty special. Every year, we’re blown away by the creativity of our community: the ideas, the design, the personal stories, and the completely unique visions people bring to their projects. Getting to hold these books and zines in real life is one of the best parts of the award.
The 2026 Booooooom Art & Photo Book Award closes very soon. If you have a project you’ve been wanting to turn into a book or zine, we’d love to see it.
This is a unique opportunity to have your project printed completely for free. The design, creative direction, and layout are up to you. We’re happy to offer guidance along the way, but the final book or zine is 100% yours to do with as you choose. You can sell it, distribute it, give it away, hide it, put it in a time capsule, or do whatever else feels right to you.
We always have people ask if they can print more copies or upgrade certain details, and yes, you absolutely can. Some selected artists choose to add things like foil, dust jackets, or extra copies, which would be an additional cost, but it’s entirely optional and not required.
