Call for entries –
Exhibition in the Urban Environment
Territories, Borders and Check-Points
Riga Photomonth 2016 in collaboration with JC Decaux announces an open call for entries under the title Territories, Borders and Check-Points. In order to bring contemporary photography into the urban environment, we invite emerging photographers worldwide to submit existing or create new work that deals with the subject of the exhibition. It is a chance for photographers to share their work with wider audiences in the largest city of the Baltics and participate in one of the main photography events of the region. Photographers are welcome to interpret the subject according to their personal experience. The organizers are open and interested in seeing both deeply personal and private stories as well as critical socio-political narratives about local and global events. The submitted entries will be judged by international jury and the selected works will be exhibited throughout the city of Riga during the Photomonth in May 2016, using JC Decaux advertising stands. This event is part of the official programme of Riga Photomonth 2016.
