2011 Juror

Maggie Blanchard, Director, Twin Palms Publishing*

Maggie Blanchard is Director of Twin Palms Publishers. For over thirty years Twin Palms has published exceptional photography and art books with an emphasis on monographs. Each beautifully made book honors the original work while creating an object that has a life of its own.

* The previous confirmed juror had several of his former students among the applicants and in those cases, it is CENTER's policy to secure a different juror to avoid any perceived conflicts of interest.
