Gomma Get Published 2025

Gomma Get Published is the new international competition that gives you the chance to turn your unpublished photobook dummy into a book publication, presented by Gomma Publishing Ltd.

Overview

At Gomma, your photobook’s full potential is brought to life through expert craftsmanship and visionary design. Specializing in limited edition photobooks ranging from 100 to 200 pages, Gomma’s in-house team meticulously crafts each project using high-quality printing techniques and premium materials to ensure a visually striking result that fully reflects your artistic vision. With their out-of-the-box approach, Gomma offers a powerful platform to showcase your work to a global audience—often with the potential to sell out within just six months of release. As part of their exclusive offering, selected projects receive a professionally published, limited edition print run with worldwide distribution. Each copy is uniquely numbered and embossed with the official Gommalabs stamp, and the artist receives 10 complimentary copies.

Practical Info

Between one and five photographers will be selected for publication through Gomma Get Published, with the winner announced on August 28, 2025. The selected book will be produced as a high-quality softcover or hardcover, depending on the nature of the project, in a limited edition of 100 to 300 copies. Printed using premium digital press on 140 gsm paper, the final product will range from 120 to 200 pages, in either color or black & white, as suited to the submitted work. Each copy will be individually numbered and published under the GommaLabs label. To apply, photographers should submit either 30 to 70 images or a PDF book project, along with the title of the project, a short description, a disclosure regarding any AI-generated content, and optionally, an artist statement. All photographic genres are welcome—including portraiture, documentary, fine art, street, photojournalism, conceptual, and landscape—though fully AI-generated images will not be accepted.
