We are seeking a photobook that needs to exist. The **Ephemere Photobook Grant 2026** prioritizes projects with visceral resonance over technical perfection—works that feel like they are becoming or un-becoming. We established this initiative to find a singular vision and collaborate with the artist to transform a rough dummy into a finalized monograph in Tokyo.

_Ephemere_ champions the photobook as a physical object that demands to be held. We are not looking for loose files; we are seeking a cohesive vision that is ready to be born. The goal is to discover one artist and fully produce their debut or sophomore monograph.

The **Grand Winner** receives 100% production coverage for a Japan-based, eco-conscious monograph. The grant includes Round-trip airfare to Tokyo for the official Book Launch during the _Ephemere Photo Fest_.

Rewards also include global distribution and 10% of the print run as artist copies.

A curated selection of two or more runners-up will be chosen by the jurors based on narrative strength. These physical dummies will be exhibited as a special installation during the _Ephemere Photo Fest_ in October. This exhibition honors works that demonstrate exceptional tactile potential and sequencing.
