Photographers should submit a portfolio or series of 6 images, no less, no more.

At least 12 portfolio submitters will be selected for publication in portfolios spanning 8 to 12 pages in future issues of the magazine. Images from these portfolios may also be chosen for cover features. One portfolio will receive the FotoNostrum Magazine Award 2024.

The theme is open, and images can be from any date.

All selected artists will receive a lifetime subscription to FotoNostrum Magazine.

Entries will be screened and juried by FotoNostrum’s team of curators, art director, and editors: Julio Hirsch-Hardy, Analy Werbin, Ameera Mills, Leonor Fernandes, and Michal Melisko.

Entry fees:

First portfolio of 6 images: $60 
Each additional series: $45
 

If a portfolio has more than 6 images, the photographer must submit the six most representative ones.

Selected portfolios will be published in consecutive issues of the magazine during 2025.

The FotoNostrum team of curators will assist the selected artists in choosing the work to be published, as well as in writing their bios and statements.

Selected images from all featured artists will be exhibited in FotoNostrum on a date to be determined during 2026. Artists are required to send high-resolution files, and FotoNostrum will handle the printing, framing, and all related exhibition costs.

All images will be juried anonymously based on their visual value. No statements will be required during the submission process. If selected for publication, artists will be individually contacted by FotoNostrum’s curators.
