The open call for entries is addressed to artists and publishers from around the world, focusing on artist books, self-published books, limited edition books, zines and DIY publications related to photography.
The selected books will be presented at the Photometria Photography Center, within the framework of the 16th edition of the Photometria International Photography Festival from 28 September to 01 December 2024 and at Zetrope Athens on a date to be announced. In the event that there is interest from other regions of Greece for the presentation of this particular exhibition, there will be further information.
