Twenty reviewers and twenty authors will be invited to participate this year in unique edition organized together by Fotofestiwal and Krakow Photomonth Festival. Due to the special online edition we decided to dedicate more time to slowly view the presentations from authors and experts.
During these four days you will have a chance to see the brief presentations made by all participants who will showcase their most ingenious projects. At this point, the photographers and reviewers are granted access to the online system that allows them to match and book two personal meetings with one another. It means each participant is going to have 4 meetings during the afternoon session. Session two is devoted to the series of private meetings held in accordance with the timetable generated by the online reservation system.
PHOTO MATCH will conclude with an open session, an informal gathering of all participants who can finally enjoy some conversation with someone previously unavailable, with no strings attached.
