RedBubble

In The Moment Finalists and More

40,000 members, 1000 copies – you do the math!

Which works are being published?

It’s the answer we’ve all been waiting for. I’m thrilled to be able to announce all the works that have been included in limited edition journal, In The Moment. With such an outstanding level of entries, it was tough work for our judges. Each published artist and writer will receive a copy of In The Moment and a $200 RedBubble Voucher for category winners and $100 for other published works. ^{(Individual winners will be contacted directly next week)}

Buying A Copy Of In The Moment

At 12 noon GMT, February 29th, The limited edition journal In The Moment goes on sale. (AUD$29.95)

Once released on Feburary 29th, the In The Moment button on the homepage will change. Clicking on it will take you to a purchasing screen. It’s then a matter of following the simple steps.

After choosing how many copies you wish to buy you will be taken to your shopping cart. You can remove items and amend quantities before continuing. The last step is to pay for your order via paypal or credit card. Only once all steps are completed is your purchase finalised.

Tip: Review and amend any items already saved in your cart before February 29th (or buy ITM without logging in to bypass your saved cart completely)

News about our Gaia – The Living Planet competition

In The Moment has been a mammoth effort and we are so proud of the final result. However one thing we have learned, is that having the best possible final product takes lots of time and effort. More than we expected.

It takes time to create, choose and submit and entry. It takes time for judges to have a good long think and decide on the winners. Once the judging is completed, the process of designing, proofing, printing and packaging requires a lot of care, attention and time.

We’d rather give you an amazing product that makes you go ‘wow,’ than rush something out the door. And we feel that we owe it to the artists being published to represent their work as best we can. Time, it’s a wonderful thing. And to give everybody more of it, we’re extending the deadline for entries to Gaia until April 16th, with the publication to come out in May.

A HUGE thanks to everyone who has been a part of this journey, especially all the artists and writers who have shared their creativity. Your contribution and enthusiasm has been inspirational.

Just looked over the works that made it in, some real goodens in there I must admit. Little saddened by the lack of Illustrative work chosen but I guess you guys had your reasons.

Congratulations all
Debbie Black, 6 months ago

Can’t wait to see the final layout – the teaser earlier looked fab!! (that is assuming i make it to te comp to buy my copy on time!) Which brings me to my next question – do we have a price for this wonderful publication?!
berndt2, 6 months ago

There’s some very cool work there – can’t wait to see it in print!! Congrats to all the winners!
Debbie Black, 6 months ago

oops – just saw the price AU$29.95 – about £13Stg (ish) :)
Peace Mitchell, 6 months ago

Congratulations to all the talented writers, photographers and artists whose work has been published!! A great idea Red Bubble, keep up the good work.
Natalie Perkins, 6 months ago

Congrats to the winners, I don’t think I’ll be buying it because I thought there were going to be more works included, and I’m definitely sad that more illustrative pieces weren’t included.
Jessica Tremp, 6 months ago

very exciting!!!
skunk, 6 months ago

Yeah, i actually thought there would be lots more work in it?
Rosalie Dale IPA, 6 months ago

Mmmmm must say I agree with Darren – perhaps I misunderstood what the publication was about? But certainly huge congrats to those chosen – what a buzz!!!
Ross Robinson, 6 months ago

Congratulations to all the artists and writers chosen. I am constantly amazed by the talent here on RedBubble and a book like this is testament to the depth and quality of its members.
adgray, 6 months ago

Congratulations all !!
Well the pics are what I expected an art selection like I’d see in any art book – perhaps not enough of them to show the scope I’ve been finding in here but good nonetheless
Now to find the time to go read the written submissions [then the do$h to order a copy]

Bytheway…. when will in the moment be open for new submissions & how many can I submit? ~ adg
Juilee Pryor, 6 months ago

well done to all those lucky ducks included in this first publication from RB which looks great…..
Michelle Scott, 6 months ago

well done all :)
Carliss Mora, 6 months ago

Congratulations to all! Excellent works included here.
Michael Gatch, 6 months ago

grats to all the winners, I didn’t even know this was going on heh. It’s great to see how much you guys are doing for your members. Keep it up! Very encouraging stuff!
artsthrufotos, 6 months ago

congrats to all!
Jo O'Brien, 6 months ago

@ adgray, the new publication/competition is Gaia – The Living Planet
georgiegirl, 6 months ago

Congrats to all the winners…. imagine how humungous the book would be if ALL our faves were to be published!!! Juilee, it’s the second groovy publication. We had one last year called ‘Unleashed’. Full of stunning stories and fab photos. If anyone has a copy, do you fancy showing if off to everyone?
Simon Sherry, 6 months ago

Congrats to all the winners – some truly fantastic stuff on display here.
umbra, 6 months ago

well done all…nice to see so many hosts works chosen…
Melinda Kerr, 6 months ago

Congrats everyone. Just a suggestion. With these comps I wonder if we might have a little more direction as to what the subject of the competition means? I had absolutely no idea what ‘In the Moment’ meant, just as I have no idea of ‘The living planet’. Just wondering if it’s possible to clarify this. Otherwise I don’t think I’ll enter anymore ‘cos I get so stressed out trying to decide it’s does my tiny brain in :)
But well done to those who got it and got in :)
Kevin Kroeker, 6 months ago

If you are a finalist does that mean you are in the publication?
Scott Ruhs, 6 months ago

Well, lots of awesome images, but I don’t see how most of them qualify as “In The Moment”. Still a stunning collection. Congrats to those that made it.
David Haviland, 6 months ago

Congrats to all that made it. For those that did not make it, I like to remind myself that there were thousands of entries ad that in the end it came down to the personal preference of the judges, ART IS SUBJECTIVE, and should always remain so.
mlgkats, 6 months ago

they are very good choices, should be a good book
Darren Sharp, 6 months ago

Not sour grapes and i have to agree with Melinda’s comment on making the direction clearer, also i find it quite strange that there is at least 15 finalists based in Victoria and it seems that new profiles have been created with similar shots to other winners.
I must have completely misinterpreted the criteria and i’m sure others have too.
It just seems to me we often see the same faces in featured pages and now this, I understand there is alot of talent in Melbourne but surely not to put everyone else on the back seat!!!!!!
LoveMy7Cs, 6 months ago

Great Work!! Hats off to ALL you very talented people!!
krwdesigns, 6 months ago

Congratulations to everyone! I agree with some of the other posts that I would’ve liked to see more illustrative and graphic designs. Plus looking at the winners also had me wondering if I’d misunderstood the concept of “In The Moment”, but – that’s how these things go. It’s not always easy to make everything perfectly clear in black and white, so we all had our own individual ideas of the meaning of the theme. Anyway – all that aside, I think this will be a wonderful collection and I’m very happy for all of the finalists and winners. Good work everyone!
carlotta peacock, 6 months ago

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE TALENTED PEOPLE ON RB.
Danny, 6 months ago

What a load of cock
Craig Goldsmith, 6 months ago

Congratulations to everyone that had a piece selected, I can’t wait to see the finished product!
Ben Ryan, 6 months ago

Danny are you needing clarification of “In the Moment” too?
Darren Stones, 6 months ago

May I ask how many pages the book contains? Thanks.
Jeremy Harrington, 6 months ago

congrats to all!
Jo O'Brien, 6 months ago

80 Full colour pages :)
Jeremy Harrington, 6 months ago

I think that Melinda may have a point with the Gaia competition, maybe just a tad more info about the finer details of the judging criteria would be great..

I dont however believe that people should be annoyed about the results of the In The Moment competition, it has been judged and completed and the results are as they are, the judges had a reason to choose the images that they chose so they are obviously worthy of winning..
Julie Langford, 6 months ago

@ Jo – 80 pages, 60 winners – whats going on the other 20 pages :)
Ben de Putron, 6 months ago

alot of staged pictures for a “in the moment” theme i feel!...congrats to the winners but perhaps the rules should be more defined and not many pictures for your bucks puts me off buying it!!
Kristy Lee, 6 months ago

How exciting!!! Tell me…did the finalists already know they were chosen or is this news to them? Don’t wanna go congratulating and spilling the beans if they aren’t aware of this yet, thats all :)
Jo O'Brien, 6 months ago

@ Julie, I just had a squiz, to check my maths. It appears to be the really cool layout that is taking up so much space!
Julie Langford, 6 months ago

Well its not just about the 39 images Ben – there are the written works as well, all worthy of their bit of page – but whats going on the other 20 pages?
Jo O'Brien, 6 months ago

Finalists will be contacted individually next week via bubblemail or email. But seeing as how this is the announcement, I reckon some bean spilling is just what the doctor ordered :) There’s nothing more fun than breaking awesome news to someone
Lucindawind, 6 months ago

congrats to all !
Darren Stones, 6 months ago

Thanks, Jo. It’s good to see things on the move.

I enquired months ago to Martin Hosking about submitting words and pics as a package for this publication and it wasn’t a goer. Bummer.

Words and pics as a package, even pics with extended captions or short stories would be worth considering in the future.

A definite theme and clear guidance allows people to pitch their work without second guessing. Making such guidelines available in PDF format would be ideal.

The Living Planet is a theme begging for word and pic submissions.
Kristy Lee, 6 months ago

I’m off to break it then..but no doubt someone else already has..hehehe

YAYYY…what fun!!
Julie Langford, 6 months ago

@ Julie, I just had a squiz, to check my maths. It appears to be the really cool layout that is taking up so much space!

What! the layout is taking up a quarter of the book – I sure hope we will get to preview the whole of the book before deciding to buy.
Jan Piller, 6 months ago

Congratulations to all the awesome artists!! Amazing stuff!!
skunk, 6 months ago

Theres now a feedback thread

Silvia Manuela, 6 months ago

Congratulations to all the winners! The whole process of In the Moment sounds like it has a very intensive journey, well shared, RB team.
Lisa Wilson, 6 months ago

Can you tell me how many photos there are in the whole book – is it just the ones in the link above? Thanks, Lisa PS Congrats to all the finalists.
Jo O'Brien, 6 months ago

@ Lisa, this the the list of all works being included in the final publication.
Hop Dac, 6 months ago

Lisa, there’s loads. not sure how many, but loads. more than in the link. speaking of the preview link, the red page you see at the start isn’t the cover – that’s one of the end pages – the cover is secret, special and magical.
Chris Seabrooke, 6 months ago

Cheers to all included in the book … the works are ALL fabulous!!!
artyrau, 6 months ago

Congratulations to all winners.
Jo O'Brien, 6 months ago

I think Hop and I were typing at the same time there. This is a tiny sneak peek at the book layout, and This is the complete list of finalists and winners
Jeremy Harrington, 6 months ago

So what other photos are being included in the book other than the overall winners and the finalists??
Jeremy Harrington, 6 months ago

or does hop mean that there are more photos then just in the preview link but not the finalist link?
Hop Dac, 6 months ago

correct in the last post, jeremy.
KillerNapkins, 6 months ago

very awesome!! congrats to everyone indeed!!
Jo Hoden, 6 months ago

Congratulations to all:):)
Lehane, 6 months ago

Well done everyone.
dawndavies, 6 months ago

very nice layout, but was sad to see it was mainly photos and not much paintings ect.
Benjamin Scheurer, 6 months ago

Congrats to all the winners!
I won’t buy the book though since there are so few photos included.
To be honest…I’m a little disappointed because of that. I imagined at least
three times as many.
Lizspittall, 6 months ago

Congratulations to the organisers and the finalists, a big job! Well done!!
Wendy Slee, 6 months ago

some great work in there….but not enought to convince me to buy it….
way too much dark material for my family home….
beckie, 6 months ago

Very exciting!! All works looks fantastic… cant wait to get my hands on a copy!!!
Well done all involved… Great job!
earthairfire, 6 months ago

Awesome work there! Congratulations, all :)

I’m also a little surprised how few works there are, but all of the ones that are wholeheartedly deserve to be.

bodymechanic, 6 months ago

Jodi Tweed, 6 months ago

jaycee, 6 months ago

Ohhh this is cool… never knew about this.
Chele Willow, 6 months ago

kafka, 6 months ago

The final choices are all excellent and capture the ‘moment’ and the spirit of the idea very well indeed.Congratulations to all who were successful with their entries.
I will echo some of the above comments and say that I am a little disappointed that there were so few paintings, illustrations, drawings or abstracts selected.
However…..next time maybe?
mrdog, 6 months ago

Valli Boldini ..., 6 months ago

lucretia, 6 months ago

OH MY GOD I AM SO OVEREXCITED! ONE OF MY PICTURES IS THERE! i will stop shouting now i am so honoured to be in such company. i just cannot believe it, i never win anything. And i must say that i though the meaning of this challenge quite clear, as far as photo’s went. it was to capture something that you had to be there for. a secongd later and you would have missed it. still excited and thank you all so much.
Kate Towers IPA, 6 months ago

Well done to all the finalists , there is some great work in there and i can see why all of them were chosen, i too though think there could be a few more in there..
wiseartman, 6 months ago

We have to wait longer now? Great more time to work! :P
georgiegirl, 6 months ago

@ those who are wondering what fills up 20 pages in a book….

It doesn’t take much to fill up 20 pages in this type of book. You’ve got the page opposite the inside front and inside back covers, and then the other side of that is either artistic too or blank, then the title page, contents which is bound to be a double spread, the introductions, the acknowledgements, a few chats about whats inside, then finally an index. Plus anything else I may have missed… It’s sure to be a very impressive book.

Does the outside cover have a lovely velvety matt finish with a spot glossy varnish?
Christine Wilson, 6 months ago

congrats to everyone outstanding work
LittleHelen, 6 months ago

...ok look…I can’t sleep because I am so rapt and excited. I would like to make out with the judges…nibble your necks and kiss you etc…thank you so much :)

angelandspot, 6 months ago

I thought there would be many many more photographs and artworks in the book. It seems it is going to be mostly full of writing.
Crystal Zacharias, 6 months ago

Congrats to all the finalists!
Chanel2, 6 months ago

Congrats to everyone! It looks like a great book, and I am absolutely floored and honored to be included in this beautiful and talented bunch! This community has been fantastic. I only entered at the suggestion of a fellow bubbler, and that’s the piece that was chosen!
yerokuns, 6 months ago

It could only get better, well done.
bonniemonahan1, 6 months ago

The below replies is what makes me call Rebubble a bubble gummer site:
1. Excellent
2. ok):
3. whoohoo. These frames are fantastic, so is the moment. Keep rocking guys. You’re awesome.
4. nice work
Personally, I feel you need a better variety of frames and matting. Not everyone’s home looks the same way.

I wish to give my best wishes in their career and congratulate all of the winners. My favorite photo is “Monkey Day Spa”, which also tells a wee story to accompany his photo. There are many people on our World with all have different taste in art, photos, writing and etc.

I failed to mention earlier it would help sells our work around the World, if the writing was is various languages.
Take care, Bonnie

Thank you so much!! I too am so honoured!! Wow!
JenniferB, 6 months ago

I’ve just bought a copy, only one thing confounds me, how come Redbubble is based in Aussie, (I think), I live in N.Z., and yet I had to pay for the book in USD??? Is it because the Aussie’s hate us kiwis, or has the USD become a global currency? ;-)
