Descripción del Premio
No seguimento da 32ª edição dos Encontros da Imagem - Festival Internacional de Fotografia e Artes Visuais, anunciamos que estão abertas as candidaturas para o Photobook Award EI 2022. A open call estará em vigor até dia 15 de maio de 2022.
O photobook, ou livro fotográfico, tem vindo a ganhar cada vez mais relevância dentro do mundo da fotografia como um veículo inerentemente eficiente e cativante na arte de recolher e narrar histórias. Assim, os Encontros da Imagem propõem-se a ser um canal para a mostra e exposição dos mesmos, num evento totalmente dedicado a esse efeito. Os melhores livros farão parte de uma exposição coletiva que estará patente em Braga durante o período do festival.
A open call está aberta a todos os artistas, profissionais ou amadores, nacionais e internacionais, sendo que as candidaturas podem ser a título individual ou como coletivo.
Este ano, em conformidade com o que aconteceu no ano anterior, serão atribuídos três prémios monetários, a atribuir entre os livros finalistas:
Vencedor: 750€ e participação numa exposição coletiva de livros de fotografia nesta edição do festival;
2º Prémio: 500€ e participação numa exposição coletiva de livros de fotografia nesta edição do festival;
3º Prémio: 250€ e participação numa exposição coletiva de livros de fotografia nesta edição do festival;
