The Asociación OF Outono Fotográfico, the Galician Regional Government, and the Lugo City Council are organising the XII PREMIO GALICIA DE FOTOGRAFÍA CONTEMPORÁNEA (XII GALICIA AWARD OF CONTEMPORARY PHOTOGRAPHY), according to the following terms.
FIRST | Object
To promote contemporary photography and the ethical issues that contemporary art generally raises with regard to forms of domination and the imposition of limits on thought. To promote the creation of a photographic space in Galicia that complements the one created over more than three decades by the Festival Outono Fotográfico by encouraging proposals of a visual-photographic nature from both national and foreign authors.
Any author who works with photography, regardless of their nationality, will be able to take part, bearing in mind that the jury's verdict will be particularly influenced by its inclusion in the discourse of contemporary photography.
SECOND | Award
A single prize will be awarded, consisting of the PRODUCTION OF AN EXHIBITION and/or the PUBLICATION OF A BOOK.
- PRODUCTION OF AN EXHIBITION
The winning photographic project would be the subject of a temporary exhibition that would open between December 2024 and February 2025. The technical characteristics will be set by the event's organisers according to the work itself and the budget limit. The exhibition will be produced by the "Asociación OF. Outono Fotográfico" which will appoint a curator responsible for designing, editing and sizing the exhibition.
- PUBLICATION OF A BOOK
A book could be published that would form part of the "GALICIA AWARD OF CONTEMPORARY PHOTOGRAPHY" series in the "OF" collection from the publishing imprint of Difusora de Letras Artes e Ideas, a publishing house that will appoint the editor and designer of the book that would be distributed in bookshops.
