DongGang International Photo Festival invites submissions for its 22nd edition, to be held from 12 July to 29 September 2024 in Yeongwol, Gangwon State, South Korea.
The theme for this edition is ‘Silently Loud’. Humans at times fail to acknowledge the presence of nature. They are inherently part of nature, yet often, they elevate themselves to the status of the main characters, forgetting the intrinsic connection to the natural world. From birth, nature serves as a backdrop, an external influence shaping lives. Yet, this omnipresent environment leads people to prioritize themselves, neglecting nature in the process.
The DongGang International Photo Festival aims to take a closer look at the existential boundaries and lives of humans from an ecosystem perspective, focusing on highlighting the interconnectedness.
Individuals should submit 8–12 photographs from a particular series or body of work.
Selected 15–20 artists will benefit from a year-long exhibition that opens at the DIPF Festival, inclusion in art magazine and any related press. The ‘Artist of the year’ (individual artist or 1 team of winner) will benefit from a solo exhibition at DIPF (production – printing, framing or related presentation material – will be provided) and travel and accommodation to attend the opening.
