The Festival is looking for:

Applicants for either (a) or (b) must send in a Project Submission
An artist can only submit a maximum of two projects for the festival.
If you are eligible for (b), your proposal will automatically be considered for the exhibition.

About  Exhibition Submissions
There is no theme to the festival. Photography must be used in the process of creating the work. All genres of photography are accepted. The Exhibition Proposal is open to all nationality with no age criteria.

The SIPF is especially keen to showcase independent, long-term or ongoing projects. The festival is not interested in single images. It will also be difficult, though not impossible, to showcase works completed more than five years ago.

Submitted works may be presented in prints, self-made books, video, or any other format as suggested by the artist. Due to budgetary concerns, the SIPF prefers print-based works that could be digitally printed and is unable to showcase original/handmade prints. Epson (Singapore) Pte Ltd is the official print partner with SIPF 2008.

The 3 days workshops are open to 45 participants (priority to those under 35 years old) holding Southeast Asian passports.

Portfolio review and workshops Fees:

2-day Portfolio review Fees       $100
3-day Workshop Fees                 $100

Festival Grant Assistance:
Each artist from the rest of the Southeast Asian countries selected for the portfolio review/workshops is qualified to apply for a grant to partially fund her or his trip to the festival. The grant will help to cover the costs of the workshops, materials and part of their travel expenses on a reimbursement basis.

Legal issues
All artists retain the creator's right to the submitted works. If a project is selected, the artist is obliged to temporarily transfer her or his right of the images to the SIPF, so that (1) the images can be produced for the exhibition, (2) used in the festival's publicity drive and (3) shown in subsequent tours. The artist will be credited each and every time her or his work is used.

The festival programme and conditions are subjected to changes without prior notice.  Please refer to the official website for the latest update, or email info[at]sipf.com.sg for latest information or changes.
