unpublished photo contest

The UNPUBLISHED PHOTO contest is promoted by the Fondazione culture e musei of Lugano (FCM) with MUSEC-Lugano; organised in collaboration with the 29 ARTS IN PROGRESS Gallery in Milan and the Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere e Arti in Venice and it is in partnership with the Fondazione Ada Ceschin e Rosanna Pilone in Zurich.

From February 12th until April 15th (12:00 am local time) applicants must submit an unpublished photographic project of ten unpublished images. The projects must have a thematic and stylistic unity. A technical jury of international experts from the world of photography and communication will chose the four finalist portfolios.

The contest includes a monetary prize of 5’000 CHF, which will be divided amongst the four winning portfolios. In addition, a selection of works from the four winning portfolios will be the subject of a temporary exhibition at MUSEC-Lugano. All prize-winning works will be published in the form of a bilingual (Italian and English) printed catalogue to coincide with the Lugano exhibition.
