Fotofestival Lenzburg is a Swiss photography festival that offers a platform for emerging and established photographers from around the world. Through its annual Open Call, the festival supports creative photographic work and provides selected artists the opportunity to present their projects in curated exhibitions. The festival focuses on contemporary themes and seeks to promote dialogue and reflection through visual storytelling. It includes both single image and project-based categories, offering broad exposure for participants in the picturesque town of Lenzburg.
In the Project Category, three selected projects will be exhibited during the Fotofestival Lenzburg 2025. One project will receive the Jury Award, which includes a CHF 1,500 cash prize, a solo exhibition at Artphilein Focus in Lugano, and a publication in the Artphilein Cahier series. In the Single Image Category, over 40 images will be displayed in Lenzburg’s historic city center, and the image that receives the most public votes will receive the People's Prize, which includes a CHF 1,000 cash prize.
The open call is open to photographers of all nationalities and ages. Both emerging and established artists are encouraged to apply. All submitted work must be original and the intellectual property of the applicant.
