Athens Photo Festival 08: Call for EntriesThe Athens Photo Festival, scheduled for autumn 2008, is a natural continuation of the International Photography Month in Athens, an event with a twenty-year history that was the major and oldest Greek institution with large-scale events focusing on the art of photography.
During this transitional period, which marks the end of an era, while at the same time giving rise to a new beginning, the festival will introduce its future form and course, transcending the format which for two decades designated that the festival would run in the month of October, and extending its cultural interventions throughout the autumn, with November being the main month for events.
This is a cultural event whose impact is worldwide; it forms part of an international network of photography events, transforming Athens into the centre of the international photography stage.
The aim of the festival is to broaden the existing platform for presenting the annual Greek photography output and making contacts with artists from various countries.
With the announcement of this year's festival, the Hellenic Centre for Photography is issuing an invitation to artists and organisations wishing to participate in the exhibition programme of the Athens Photo Festival / 15th International Photography Month, whose central theme is the Mediterranean.
The submission deadline is 7th September 2008.
