EPF 2026 Photobook Exhibition

Open call for a dedicated photobook exhibition at the Ephemere Photo Fest 2026 in Tokyo (October 17–27), following the 118-title showcase Ephemere staged during KG+ in Kyoto. Seeking complete, bound photobooks — self-published or publisher-released, A4 or smaller — with bold visual narratives, intentional sequencing, and strong physical presence; theme is open. Two-phase system: the initial digital review is free (submit a PDF, flip-through video, or sequenced JPEGs of the book), then artists selected in July pay a $25 exhibition fee and ship one copy to Japan. Exhibited books are not returned — they join Ephemere's permanent traveling photo library and may be shown again at future international pop-ups.
