For the third year running, Textile Exchange and Magnum Photos are launching a competition for emerging photographers to submit a story under the theme “Textile Transformations”, exploring the way we transform textiles, and how textiles in turn transform us.
We’re looking for emerging photographers interested in telling the visual stories that take place when fibers and materials are cultivated, created, spun, woven, sewn, loved and cherished – gaining cultural and emotional significance through the journey.
Application Details:
Application deadline: June 28, 2024
Winners will be selected by a panel of expert judges, and chosen based on their submitted projects.
Applicants should submit at least one photo story (but a maximum of two), consisting of up to 25 images per story. They should also include an artist statement and CV. The competition is open to any early career photographer aged 18 and above, from all nationalities who have an interest in the topics at the center of Textile Transformations.
All applicants must have a right to work and be available to travel for the winning commission at some time between Autumn 2024 and Summer 2025 (as mutually agreed).
