Landskrona Foto Festival 2026 Open Call

Landskrona Foto Festival offers an exhibition opportunity during the next edition, taking place in September 2026 in Sweden, along with a €900 artist fee.

Overview

For their 2026 edition, Landskrona Foto Festival invites artists and photographers to submit projects for their outdoor exhibition programme, responding to the theme Displacement.

Displacement can be understood in many ways - being forced to leave one's home, navigating political upheaval, or feeling out of place in a rapidly changing world. It may arise from conflict, climate change, economic hardship, or broader societal shifts. It can also refer to internal, emotional, or existential states of dislocation.

They welcome a wide range of photographic approaches - documentary, conceptual, archival, or experimental.

Selected projects will be exhibited in public spaces throughout Landskrona, including their specially designed outdoor structures located in parks, city squares, and other urban environments. Artists may propose works that fit their existing formats or suggest new, innovative ways of presenting photography in the public realm.
