Monograph No. 01

No-Type Magazine is a Chicago-based photography publication. Monograph No. 01 is the magazine's inaugural monograph publishing program — an open call for lens-based artists to submit a cohesive photographic project for development into a full artist monograph.

The brief is open: photographic projects of any subject, genre, or process, presented as a cohesive and ambitious body of work ready to be developed into book form. Selection prioritizes work that has the structural depth to sustain a full monograph rather than a strong serial portfolio.

One artist is selected. The selected artist receives full monograph publication by No-Type, with all production costs covered — editing, design, printing, and marketing — plus 20% of the total edition to sell and distribute at the artist's discretion. The selected artist also receives consideration for additional features in the magazine and across No-Type's digital platforms.

Six finalists are selected for published interviews on the magazine's site. All submitting artists are also considered for inclusion in an Editor's Choice issue of the magazine.

Eligibility is open to lens-based artists. Submission fee is $20. Submissions go through Typeform; the deadline is May 31, 2026, with the shortlist announced June 8 and final selection June 15.
