Calling all photographers and artists! We are extending our open call deadline from 15 September to
Sunday 1 October before 11.59 PM
What is the theme?
The overarching theme for the 2024 festival edition is ‘entanglement’. A word or concept that we encourage photographers and artists to engage with in their application. The concept refers to the way we are correlated over space and time to each other. To how we can have a mutual relationship or connection, in which one thing affects or depends on another. To the footprint that we leave, more or less intentionally.
For the 2024 edition, three time World Press Photo winner Mads Nissen will exhibit his ongoing project ‘Sangre Blanca – the war on drugs’ which examines the entanglement of the drug trade from the coca farmers in Columbia to the streets and socialites of Europe.
What can you win?
If you are selected, you get to be one of next year’s solo artists. Usually we select between 3 to 6 artists/photographers from our open call to exhibit as part of our festival center to open the doors for different photographic genres and perspectives on the theme.
As a solo artist at Copenhagen Photo Festival, your work will receive international exposure on a plethora of platforms giving you a chance to connect with other art and photography professionals. Exhibitors will more specifically receive:
- A solo exhibition in the heart of Copenhagen
- € 530 fee as a festival participant.
- € 320 support for travel to and accommodation in CPH (for international photographers)
- Copenhagen Photo Festival will cover the expenses for the exhibition
- A targeted PR- and marketing strategy for your exhibition on Copenhagen Photo Festival’s communication platforms
- The possibility to meet and make contact with other exhibitors, curators and professionals through a large networking dinner, talks and gallery walks
