Open Call: Exhibit Your Photography as a Poster in Kobe This October | Release #880

The Photo Poster Project is a photography exhibition you can join simply by selecting a city and date.

This initiative, which we call PPP, is more than just a photography exhibition. It is a community where everyone can share their stories with confidence—and an opportunity to connect with creators from around the world in person.

PPP is coming to Cultivate Gallery in Oji Park, Kobe, on Saturday, October 10!

Taking part in the Photo Poster Project, organized by cizucu, is simple.


(1) Select an exhibition space and date

(2) Pay easily by credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or another supported method

(3) Submit your work to cizucu


Then all that remains is to visit the exhibition. Many photographers from the surrounding area will also be participating, so you may even meet future members of your photography community.
