FREE ENTRY / Trienniale Der Photographie Hamburg - Futures Talents 2025

Since 2018 the Triennial of Photography and the House of Photography at Deichtorhallen Hamburg is member of the FUTURES Photography Platform, which was founded and supported by the EU cultural program Creative Europe. Today the platform is consisting of more than 20 member institutions all over Europe.We are excited to announce an open call for the next cohort of FUTURES talents for the year 2025. Five photographers or lens-based artists will be selected to receive focused mentorship and support throughout 2025, as well as the opportunity to join the FUTURES platform—a vibrant network connecting artists to photography institutions, magazines, galleries, and festivals across Europe.

We are looking for photographers and lens-based artists with ties to or a base in Germany who bring bolt, poetic, conceptual, and experimental perspectives to their work. Applicants should be at an early or mid-career stage, driven to push boundaries, expand their artistic practice, and connect with leading European photography institutions, magazines, galleries, and festivals. While your work should revolve around photography or lens-based practices, we also encourage applications from artists working across disciplines. We are committed to fairness, respect, diversity, and transparency and strongly encourage you to apply. The open call is free of charge.
