PhMuseum Days 2022 Festival Call Now Open For Submissions

Apply now to become part of our International Festival through this open call offering 3 individual shows, space in a 40-image installation, and more.

After last year's 4,000 visitors and positive reception, the PhMuseum Days International Photo Festival is back for its second edition scheduled from 23 September to 2 October 2022 in Bologna, Italy.

The theme that will characterize it is Today is Yesterday's Tomorrow, meant as an occasion to reflect on the strong moment of change we are living. The eternal return of history; the need to live the present while recognizing the power of actions and how the future depends on our decisions today; the different points of view we share and the speculative interpretation of reality.

There are many angles to interpret this theme. This is why we invite you to send yours and join this open call that represents one of the main channels through which you can become part of our festival.We are selecting indeed at least 3 works for individual shows, up to 40 images for a collective installation, and up to 20 projects for the projections. Plus, as an applicant you can claim your free daily pass to attend the festival.

We look forward to reviewing your applications - together with a jury comprising photographers who exhibited last year - and to welcoming you to Bologna this September. You can learn more and apply here taking advantage of the early bird discount.
