Kia ora A5 zine
I love this idea!
I have a zine I want to enter today. I know today is the last day so if it post marked with the 14th on it will that be sufficient. I am based in Rotorua
This Zine/small book I made (self published) has a total of 23 images and the rest is poetry it was a limited edition of 100 low costs books I made with a local poet and I was the photographer and designer.
It is currently 76 pages. And is a “pocket book” size roughly the size of a 1B5 notebook. I would love to be considered for this competition but realize I would need to cut the book down to 36 pages. The poet is happy for me to do this.
I was thinking that a nice zine of this work would be all the images which are of the poet and his house in the bush plus two or three appropriate poems rather than the entire collection. Would this work? Or does it need to be entirely images? Or should I just sent the psychical copy to Guznhee street with an appropriate note attached?
