In collaboration with the FUTURES platform, Copenhagen Photo Festival invites young emerging artists to join a strong international network that brings together contemporary photographers, organisations and audiences. This opportunity gives young photographers and lens based artists in the Nordic countries a chance to develop their career, share ideas and meet experts within the field from all over Europe.

Being a member artist in the FUTURES platform includes various opportunities for artists to get involved and engage with the international scene. FUTURES provides an artist fee of 500 € and member artists get a chance to participate in online conversations with experts, tutoring sessions, an annual FUTURES platform event, events across the platform’s other members and FUTURES meet-ups.

On top of this, there is also a possibility to enter open calls for both a traveling exhibition, taking place between different partnering venues across the year, and also an annual exhibition, opportunities exclusive for FUTURES artists. Continuous promotion of artists on the website, social media and in other print material of FUTURES is also included.

Additionally, Copenhagen Photo Festival provides visibility for nominated artists, including a screening of submitted works during the 2027 Copenhagen Photo festival, publication in the FUTURES archive on the CPF website, promotion via CPF social media channels, a free entry to the 2027 Copenhagen Photo Festival, invitation to the festival’s networking days and a portfolio session with Maja Dyrehauge Gregersen.
