Scheduled to take place from 8 to 31 October 2008, the Singapore International
Photography Festival (SIPF) is the first event of its kind in Southeast Asia.
This biennial festival strives to provide a platform for Southeast Asian artists
to showcase their works alongside their international peers in various venues
such as National Museum of Singapore, LASALLE, 2902 Photo Gallery and more.
3 central components of the SIPF are the official exhibitions, workshops and
portfolio review. The festival kick starts with exhibition openings and 2 days
of portfolio review sessions for up to 50 Southeast Asian photographers,
followed by a series of workshops facilitated by curators and senior
photographers for up to 45 Southeast Asian photographers. Selection for
workshops/portfolio reviews is based on project submissions.
Open to public are a series of evening presentation by invited curators, artists
and festival directors. Over the weekends are series of public lectures and
forum to share thoughts, ideas, issues and current trends in photography.
Along with the official exhibitions and programme, is SIPF Fringe which counts
on the participation of arts galleries, arts spaces and education institutions
to promote photography across Singapore. Individual and organisation that are
planning to have photography related activities in October are welcomed to ride
on the extensive festival publicity.
The SIPF committee is made up of volunteers and relies on the good will and
support from various institutions, corporate organisation and the public to make
this festival a reality. Members of the public could contribute to this festival
by signing up as volunteers or by purchasing the festival publication.

Open Call Submission
The Festival is looking for:
a) EXHIBITION SUBMISSIONS by photographers and artists (henceforth referred to
collectively as "artists"). This section is open to all artists with no age
criteria.
b) WORKSHOP/PORTFOLIO REVIEW SUBMISSIONS (8-15October 2008) in Singapore.

Portfolio Review is open to 50 Southeast Asian passport holders with no age
limit.
Applicants for either (a) or (b) must send in a Project Submission
An artist can only submit a maximum of two projects for the festival.
If you are eligible for (b), your proposal will automatically be considered for
the exhibition.
About Exhibition Submission
There is no theme to the festival. Photography must be used in the process of
creating the work. All genres of photography are accepted. The Exhibition
Proposal is open to all nationality with no age criteria.
The SIPF is especially keen to showcase independent, long-term or ongoing
projects. The festival is not interested in single images. It will also be
difficult, though not impossible, to showcase works completed more than five
years ago.
Submitted works may be presented in prints, self-made books, video, or any other
format as suggested by the artist. Due to budgetary concerns, the SIPF prefers
print-based works that could be digitally printed and is unable to showcase
original/handmade prints. Epson (Singapore) Pte Ltd is the official print
partner with SIPF 2008.
About Workshops/Portfolio Review
Applicants interested in the workshops and/or portfolio reviews are required to
submit a proposal. The 3 days workshops are open to 45 participants (priority to

Festival Grant Assistance:
Each artist from the rest of the Southeast Asian countries selected for the
portfolio review/workshops is qualified to apply for a grant to partially fund

basis.
Legal issues
All artists retain the creator's right to the submitted works. If a project is

images to the SIPF, so that (1) the images can be produced for the exhibition,
(2) used in the festival's publicity drive and (3) shown in subsequent tours.
The artist will be credited each and every time her or his work is used.
The festival programme and conditions are subjected to changes without prior
