[Open Call] August Exhibition in Kobe | Showcase Your Photography as a Poster | Release #831

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 time, ppp will be held at Cultivate Gallery in Nada, Kobe, on Saturday, August 8!

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


After that, all you need to do is come to the gallery. Many photographers from the same area will also participate, so you may find future photography companions.
