We’re very happy to announce that Espace Jörg Brockmann, a contemporary photography gallery based in Switzerland, have agreed to offer the next #FotoRoomOPEN winner the opportunity of having a solo exhibition at their space. Read on for all the details of this new #FotoRoomOPEN edition, submit your work, and good luck!

The Juror — Espace Jörg Brockmann

Espace Jörg Brockmann (website / Instagram / Facebook) is a gallery exclusively dedicated to contemporary photography located in the municipality of Carouge, just outside of Geneve, Switzerland, in the distinctive environment of the Arcoop building. During the first ten years of life of his gallery, the founder Jörg Brockmann has been presenting the work of many talented artists, alternating between celebrated photographers such as Martin Parr, Bruce Gilden, Elliott Erwitt and Antoine d’Agata; and emerging, promising photographers, many of whom we’ve featured in FotoRoom in the past, including Vasantha Yogananthan, Federico Clavarino, Karolin Klüppel, Martin Essl and Olivia Arthur.

The Opportunity — Have a solo show at Espace Jörg Brockmann

Jörg Brockmann is generously offering the next #FotoRoomOPEN winner the opportunity of exhibiting their work in a solo show at his gallery for a period of 4 to 8 weeks within a year from selecting the winning photographer.

The costs of shipping work and producing the exhibition will have to be discussed privately between the winner and Espace Jörg Brockmann, as they will depend on where the winner is located, whether they already have prints of their work or not, etc. so please keep in mind that there may be costs involved for you if you’re selected for the exhibition.

Who can participate, and in what categories

Only FotoRoom members can enter #FotoRoomOPEN | Espace Jörg Brockmann edition. Remember: signing up gives you access to not just one but all #FotoRoomOPEN calls that run while you’re a member, on top of unlocking resources like our useful FotoCal. Become a member today!

Members can enter in two categories:

— Single Image (open to both Amateur and Pro members);
— Series (open to Pro members only). It’s currently not possible for Pro members to submit more than one series, but they can submit in both the Single Image and Series category.

Important notes — please read these!

#FotoRoomOPEN | Espace Jörg Brockmann edition is open to all photographers, no matter what your age, gender or nationality is. The call has no theme: you’re free to submit any work regardless of subject, style or approach. Anything goes!

Please note that only the winner of the Series category is eligible for the opportunity offered by Espace Jörg Brockmann. In the circumstance that the gallery, at their exclusive discretion, did not deem any of the applications a good fit, the “prize” will remain unassigned.
