Please make sure that you have already created your bio, work description and layout for your cube before applying.

Free or commissioned work can be submitted. An important criterion is that the most recent images in your work are not older than 12 months and have not previously been published in newspapers or magazines.

As soon as the board of trustees has been able to view your work, you will be notified in writing by the organizer. You will be informed by the end of October at the latest whether your work has been accepted for the exhibition.

If there is a need for optimization, our curatorial advisory board will be consulted. In personal portfolio sessions in November (Sat 8.11., Sat 22. 11., Sat 29.11.2025) in Zurich, the works will be discussed together and concretely improved - not digitally, but in direct exchange. In this way, all applicants benefit optimally: both photographically and in the staging and presentation of their work. More information will follow.

On request, the Board of Trustees will respond personally and tell you why it was not enough. The application fee will not be refunded.

Yes, the works can be sold. However, the direct sale of objects during the exhibition is not permitted. We offer an online store on our platform through which we can offer your pictures. You can indicate in your application whether you would like to sell your pictures in the photoINTERNATIONAL store.

You are responsible for insuring your pictures yourself. We cannot be held liable for any damage that occurs during set-up, exhibition and dismantling.
