Kranj Foto Fest, an international festival of contemporary photography based in Slovenia, announces its Open Call for projects to be exhibited during the 6th edition of the festival in August 2026, with all production costs covered by the festival.
Exhibitions may take place at galleries, museums, art centres, historic landmarks, in the canyon, forests, by the river, in the castle gardens and in the tunnels beneath the medieval town of Kranj.
The Open Call is open to all, with no thematic, age or regional restrictions. Photographers from all backgrounds are invited to apply, with either a project or series. This call for entries embraces an open theme, encouraging submissions without thematic constraints.
The jury will select one winner, who will receive a solo exhibition at Kranj Foto Fest 2026, a 1,000 EUR cash prize, travel expenses to Kranj (up to 400 EUR) and accommodation for three nights during the festival’s opening week (27th–30th August 2026).
In addition to the winner, the festival will select up to 12 projects to participate in group exhibitions at Kranj Foto Fest 2026. In some cases, the curatorial team may choose to upgrade some of these selected projects to solo exhibitions, assigning them to special locations and venues in the old town of Kranj. Selected artists will also receive accommodation for three nights during the festival’s opening week.
