| Okay, I entered their Sigma contest. I got notification today that I was in the finalists with one of my images. They will print it in their Best of 2011 book for $55. Has anyone had an experience with them? Is it for real or sort of a scam? |

 Franktheyank, if they are asking for money to include you in a 'book' - well.
If it was me, I would thank them for the recognition of your work and let that one go.
These "book" sellers go after everybody, including "who's who in [you name the field].
It is unlikely the book they promise will ever go to anyone who does not pay for
it in advance (usually the lucky contestants). If indeed, it goes to anyone at all.

| Get yourself a nice canvas print of the photograph for about that same price. :-) |

You hear of such books every now and then. Once I heard of one where the photographer really DID get a book (small, lousy quality, awful photos in it) and it really did contain his photo as well.
Sad part was, his photo was a cheap, terrible print, glued onto an empty page :-(
They obviously do that so it becomes much harder to do something about it.... after all, he did get a book and it did have his photo in it, right?
