  Open to Interpretation is a series of international juried book competitions that bring together fine art photographers and writers. Published by Taylor & O'Neill, each book begins with a themed call for photographs. The selected images then become the literary inspiration for writers' submissions, from which two are chosen to accompany each image. The subsequent pairing of photographs and written pieces culminates in the publication of a high-quality, fine art book.
