Open Call

for the creation of an experimental photobook

We invite our entire international community to participate and collaborate in this call to publish an experimental photobook. In these years of work, we have seen how complicated it is to publish photobooks with experimental proposals. To resolve this gap, we have decided to create this call with a clear community will: with everyone's support we will make it possible to publish a photobook each year.
