Ephemere Photobook Grant 2026

Ephemere is a Tokyo-based photography publisher and the organizer of Ephemere Photo Fest. The annual Photobook Grant funds production of one selected artist's photo monograph published in Japan.

The grant is unusually comprehensive: 100% production coverage for an eco-conscious monograph (printed on sustainable materials), global distribution, plus round-trip airfare to Tokyo for the book launch at Ephemere Photo Fest in October 2026.

Selection is by Anne Murayama (Curator and Director, Ephemere) and Jordan Reyes (Creative Partner, Ephemere).

Eligibility is open globally. Submission is through Google Form with a book dummy. Application is free. The 2026 deadline was March 31; results announced May 2026.
