Technologies allow refusing from traditional printing and creating multimedia projects with sound, subtitles, special effects, etc. "Photophobia" is: - a fear to freeze on a gallery wall in the form of a print, - access for wider audience due to new media, - aspiration to new forms of existence of photography, - democratic approach and absence of professional restrictions - photography as therapeutic phenomenon Conditions of participation: Photographers and invited curators participate with their photo-multimedia projects.

The projects are accepted in the form of ready presentations/films from 3 to 5 minutes, with sound track (preferred format avi, or Power Point - please note that we do not accept other formats), and titles (including the name of the author/group, title of the project/series of photographs, place and year of production).
