Open Call Rotterdam Photo 25'

Einsendeschluss: 20.12.2024

(english version only)

The New Wave of Photographic Talent.

Emerging from the omnipresent culture of imagery, the new wave of photographic talent consists of true digital natives. They’ve grown up in a world where images reign supreme, and they play a pivotal role in capturing the essence of freedom, culture, human connection, and unity. This generation exemplifies the delicate balance between finding a genuine subjective perspective (ethics) and crafting the perfect visual expression (aesthetics). With insatiable curiosity and a thirst for innovation, they push the narrative and technical boundaries of photography to new heights.

At Rotterdam Photo, we are committed to empowering this intricate balancing act with a solid foundation—a theme broad enough to invite a myriad of independent photographers to join our festival, yet clear enough to provide visitors with a cohesive narrative that links the diverse issues raised by individual creators. For the 2025 edition, our theme is Shared/Connected.

Apply before December 20th and just as we celebrate and scrutinize the intricate tapestry of connection and sharing through the visionary eyes of the new generation of photographers.
Selected photographers will be invited to showcase their projects and create their exhibition in the container during the Rotterdam Photo 2025. Photographers get an opportunity to sell their works and meet gallerists, potential art buyers, and international art press professionals. Rotterdam Photo doesn’t charge any commissions for sales during the festival.
