maribor photo book award 2023

We would kindly like to invite you to the fourth edition of the Maribor photo book award organized by The Angry Bat and Društvo za evropsko zavest (Society for European Consciousness). All books will be on display in an exhibition of contemporary photo books and will coincide with the photo exhibition curated by Organ Vida in the Art Gallery Maribor in Slovenia.

The theme of the photo book award is The pandemic and life after it.

We are inviting photographers to send us works that deal with both the intimate experience of the pandemic and its consequences, as well as the social changes associated with it. Although we already think of the pandemic as past history, there is no doubt that it has cut deeply into our lives – both in our personal experience (i.e. taking access to goods and freedoms for granted), and in global social relations. The theme is not to be taken literally and can be applied to various aspects of our lives.
