Organized by Fotofestiwal in Lodz and Krakow Photomonth Festival, the Photo Match will be hosted online this year. The artists will show their projects during four days, between the 3rd and 6th of August. On the 7th of August, they will be matched with the reviewers and the portfolio review sessions will take place in a digital system from 11am to 4pm.
There is an open call to participate in the sessions and showcase. Projects must be submitted online until June 30th here.
The Photo Match’s model breathes new life into the traditional formula of portfolio reviews through placing a special emphasis on the series of open networking events, public presentations and an equal status granted to the reviewers as well as all artists. Twenty reviewers and twenty authors will be invited to participate this year. The list of reviewers includes magazine editors, book publishers, photography festivals’ directors, museum curators, gallery owners, independent art consultants:
