OPEN CALL APPLICATION

Welcome with your application to Malmö Fotobiennal 2019. The deadline for the application is pushed until the 28th of February 2019. The main theme for the exhibitions is “UTOPIA”. The curator group is looking forward to review your project or series of photography, which we trust to be related to the theme in one way or the other. Applying to open call is free of charge.

If your work is chosen we will contact you in the beginning of mars 2019. Further on, due to our narrow budget, we cannot receive any original prints. Since a few years back we are printing the projects here on a large quality Epson printer. Your work will be displayed in the catalogue as well but all that information will be detailed for you if you are among the chosen artist/photographer.
