Hi,

Welcome to The Open Call List #47!

In this weekly newsletter, I share opportunities for photographers for exhibitions, publications, fellowships, grants, residencies, jobs, and more. My goal is to make the photography world more accessible, especially to emerging artists. While I include both free opportunities and calls for entry with submission fees, I only share opportunities that favor artists.

Opening Remarks:
Last week, The Open Call List’s published its fourth paid subscriber guide: 15 Open Call Photobook Awards and Publishing Prizes. The guide is a list of opportunities for photobook projects at all stages - photobook ideas, books-in-progress, book dummies, as well as published and self-published photobooks. No matter what point of the photobook-making process you’re at - from ideation to publication - the guide has opportunities for you!

Paid subscribers have access to a growing collection of similar, monthly bonus guides including:

  • 24 Photography Festivals Around the World with Open Calls

  • 18 Photography Publications with Free, Rolling Submissions

  • 12 Fully-Funded Photography Residencies with Darkrooms
