Projects defended by themselves

Closed call

Art Photo Bcn consolidates its Visionados, renewing the format. This exhibition platform for new photographers in front of specialists and gallery owners will include a relaxed atmosphere where the authors will have the opportunity to explain their project, receive important feedback and compete for the various prizes.
Many of the relationships and synergies for future editions of the festival will emerge from this session. The fruit of this meeting is key to nurture other branches of Art Photo Bcn such as the exhibitions at PARTNER LOCATIONS, the workshops and activities or the Art Photo Bcn authors’ section of the fair. With the intention of linking the participants of the viewings beyond the edition in which they present their project, an exhaustive follow-up of their progress is carried out with the mission of developing professional relationships that will last over time.
The 8 selected photographers will also have a Viewing Room space on the online platform to exhibit their project as part of the online fair (with the possibility of sales and direct contact).

In a round-table format, all the reviewers will participate simultaneously in order to produce an enriching feedback in parallel with the commentaries and opinions that all their different outlooks will provide. Every author will dispose of 20 minutes in total to explain his/her project and to receive the commentaries of the reviewers in addition to answering their questions.

The rest of the participating photographers will have the chance to assist the session as the only public since the session will be held behind closed doors.

The awards ceremony will take place on Saturday 8 June at 8 pm at Disseny Hub Barcelona. The Art Photo Bcn prize is worth €2,000 (taxes included) in honoraria for the winner, in addition to starring in the image of the next edition of the festival and participating with their own space at the fair. The award is decided by the individual votes of the viewers participating in the double session of viewings.
