[Open Call] May Exhibition in Kyoto | Showcase Your Photography as Posters | Release #780

The photo poster project is an exhibition where you can participate simply by choosing a city and date.

What we call 'ppp' is more than just a photography exhibition. It is a community where everyone can safely share their stories, and an opportunity to connect with creators from around the world in real life.

This ppp will be held on Saturday, May 23, at meda:gallery in Shimabara, Kyoto.

Participating in the photo poster project organized by cizucu is very simple.


(1) Select the exhibition space and date

(2) Easy payment via credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, etc.

(3) Submit your artwork to cizucu to complete your submission


All that's left is to come to the gallery. Many photographers from the same area will also participate, so you may find future collaborators and friends in photography.
