The Singapore International Photography Festival (SIPF) is opening the call for image-based works and photobook publications for its 9th biennale edition. The open call welcomes submissions from photographers and artists worldwide and is non-thematic in nature.
This presents the opportunity for photographers and artists to have their works seen and reviewed by the festival’s distinguished Jury Panel of international professionals in the industry of contemporary arts, photography, and publishing. Shortlisted works will be presented in the 9th SIPF Open Call Showcase in Singapore, a cornerstone festival platform for new discoveries in image-making and photography, alongside curated festival highlights of some of the biggest names in the photography world. The 9th SIPF is taking place in Singapore from October 18 to November 24, 2024.
In this Open Call, selected recipients are also considered for the SIPF Open Call Award, recognising artistic excellence and originality displayed in Open Call submissions. The award aims to support and encourage artists in their image-making practice, with cash prizes disbursed to the creators of the selected works.
The SIPF Open Call Awards include: the Best Portfolio Award (cash prize of SGD$2,000), the Best Published Photobook Award (cash prize of SGD$2,000), and the Best Dummy Photobook Award (cash prize of SGD$2,000). These award recipients will be selected by the SIPF Open Call’s Jury Panel. The Public’s Favourite Photobook Award (cash prize of SGD$1,000) will be determined by votes from the festival audience during the festival period.
