The Fotobookfestival Kassel invites every year all photographers to present their so-far unpublished photobooks to an international public and to eminent experts. In 2016 Fotobookfestival have received 476 book dummies from 51 countries. Their shortlist-jury selected the best 52 books. These will be exhibited at international photo events. These shortlisted photobooks, and the winners, will be presented to the public at The Library Project, during July, at PhotoIreland Festival 2016.
From these 52 titles, 3 winners were chosen by an international jury of experts during the 8th Fotobookfestival Kassel at the Three Shadows Photography Art Centre in Beijing.
The winner of the First Prize will be given the opportunity to realise their dummy as a “real” book in cooperation with their production partner, Verlag Kettler, Germany.
