We warmly welcome photographers from all corners of the world—regardless of background, experience level, or artistic style—to take part in our Open Submission. This is a rare opportunity to have your work seen and evaluated by a respected group of international experts who help shape the future of contemporary photography. Their insight and recognition can open doors, elevate your professional visibility, and support your artistic growth.

Those selected will enjoy a range of exciting opportunities, starting with the chance to exhibit at the UK and Ireland’s largest annual photography festival, a celebrated event drawing major attention from audiences and the press. The exhibition will then travel across Europe, offering further exposure and connection with new communities of photography enthusiasts. A series of prestigious awards will also be granted, including a £2,000 cash prize (around $2,700 / €2,300), designed to support and encourage outstanding creative talent.
