Belfast Photo Festival 2024 Open Call

The open call is offering photographers the opportunity to exhibit their work in the main Festival gallery and have their work taken on tour to be exhibited at the 2024 Photo Schweiz (Zurich, CH).

Overview

The annual Belfast Photo Festival provides a platform for gaining exposure to an international audience, with previous editions having welcomed over 150,000 visitors from all over the world.

Practical Info

The theme is open; submissions must be photographic or lens-based but can include incorporations of other art forms with the photographic medium (i.e. performance, painting, sculpture, music, literature etc). Individuals and collectives are welcome to apply between 1-15 photographs from a particular project; and/or submit their photobook by uploading a single PDF (no image limit).

All finalists who submitted photographs will have their work produced by the Festival for exhibition outdoors at no cost to the photographer. The winners will be eligible for a number of awards, including a cash prize of £2,000.
