Since 2018, the project has attracted young photographers under the ages of 36 from all over the world. As a promoter of this initiative, this year MUSEC is once again offering the finalists the opportunity to exhibit their work in a temporary exhibition - Unpublished Photo 2021 - that will be staged in the Spazio Maraini at Villa Malpensata (Lugano, Switzerland) from September 23rd 2021 to February 27th 2022.
Applicants can submit their thematic portfolios, consisting of 10 images, a description of the project and a short biography, within 28 June 2021 at this link. A jury made up of leading figures from the world of art and photography will select four finalists from the international photography scene.
