Short Description:
At PhotoVogue, we deeply value the voices and perspectives of our global community. After receiving feedback from artists and community members, we’ve taken time to reflect on how this initiative can be more inclusive. As a result, we have broadened the scope of the open call to include all regions that make up East and Southeast Asia, welcoming submissions from everyone who identifies with this heritage, wherever they may be in the world. We are grateful for your engagement and remain committed to fostering a platform that celebrates diverse stories and identities.
This year’s PhotoVogue Regional Open Call celebrates the diverse voices and dynamic creativity of East and Southeast Asia, highlighting unique perspectives that push boundaries and redefine storytelling.
In celebration of the vibrant cultures and rich visual storytelling traditions of East and Southeast Asia, PhotoVogue is launching a Regional Open Call for photographers and videomakers from these regions.
This initiative aims to discover and promote the most talented visual artists from East and Southeast Asia, providing them with opportunities to emerge and collaborate within the Condé Nast global network.
The call welcomes all genres – from fashion to documentary, fine art to reportage – and invites submissions from those working in photography and/or video. It is open to anyone who identifies with the heritage of East and Southeast Asia, whether based in the region or elsewhere in the world. Applicants must be at least 18 years old.
We are seeking diverse voices that reflect the region’s multicultural essence, capturing both its rapidly evolving urban landscapes and deeply rooted cultural heritage.
Submissions will be evaluated by a jury composed of Condé Nast editors from across the globe.
A curated selection of the best submissions will be featured across Vogue’s global network, with selected artists potentially collaborating on editorial projects. The most outstanding works will also be showcased at the next edition of the PhotoVogue Festival. In addition, three artists will receive a total of $8,000 in grants – details below.
Keep an eye out! Throughout the duration of the open call, we’ll be rolling out exciting opportunities in collaboration with various Vogue editions across the region – offering even more ways to showcase and support emerging talent.
