Photobook Award 2024

The Photobook Awards are part of the 34th Encontros da Imagem Festival and give artists, amateurs and professionals, both national and international, the chance to exhibit their photobooks. With a diverse jury made up of recognised publishers, the Open Call aims to highlight and reward the best photobooks of the year.

In the 34th edition of the festival, we received more than 200 applications from artists all over the world.
