I've been emailed out of the blue a few times from different publishing companies in China that were requesting submissions of my work for some books that they plan on coming out with.I'm not sure the legit-ness of this, a bit sketchy as one of the companies did not have a working website.
This was one of the publishing co's:
"The World Design Yearbook included the design companies, personal studio, the group's outstanding design works at home and abroad from 2010 to 2011. The included works show the different design style of the different regions."
"Come to the deadline, it is the late September. From now on, you may continually send us your pics as many as you can. Once any of the work is elected to the rank of World TOP Design Year Book -2011, we will deliver you the certificate and the complimentary copy. "
Wondering if this is just a grab for ideas and compositions to re-purpose ...

I did one when i was in 2nd year. I dun know they felt doggy to me. But they had some really big studios in the book. So they had agreed to send their work over too. I never got anything out of it. Not even a free book :(
- But then again these guys at lest had a website and ran a magazine.crayz

I got this email as well and deleted it after a quick search.
Seemed like a scam to me, or I'd see a knock off of one of my projects from China.- I deleted the first two that I received and then just wanted to see if others received these as well

same situation but not that publisher
i sacked them off because i googled the name and they seem to have a bad rep. Wouldn't say for ripping but just basically a warning, do not go near

On the one hand you can read things like this and respond like "Wow, I've been especially selected to appear in a book of great graphic design and all I have to do is supply some files and pay the submission fee" or the other way to look at it is "Wow, these people have a very clever way of selling me advertising space in a book that nobody will ever see".
