It may sounds like a stiff competition, a stringent approach towards volunteerism, or a lengthy process that may seems unnecessary, but this approach stems from the belief that nobody is taken for granted, and no individual effort is insignificant. SIPF committee members devote their time to interview just as volunteers devote their weekends, hours after works, and personal times for the festival. Ultimately, the festival is made possible by everyone who cares to give their time and effort.

The process of volunteering starts from being responsible for your own action in the team. This means doing what you promised to do, making effort together as a team, and lending hands to others beyond your own scope of duties. SIPF as a partner respect your choice to give what you are willing to do so, and this forms the basic mutual understanding among us.

Volunteer Requirements
Prior experience and specific skills are not necessary unless otherwise stated.
The festival is looking for reliable and committed individuals to fill the following volunteer openings:

Next open call submission will be in 2014.

10 Nov 2011, Singapore – The 3rd Singapore International Photography Festival (SIPF) photography biennial is returning for its third instalment, and will be opening on 5 October 2012. In its continuous mission to discover emerging artists and original, contemporary photographic works, the 3rd SIPF Open Call welcomes the participation of all artists of merit to submit their photographic works begins from 10 November 2011 to 30 April 2012. This is an opportunity for talented individuals to present their works alongside esteemed photographers, and also an international platform for aspiring or established artists to reach out to a wider audience.

You do not have to be qualified

SIPF Open Call looks to discover talented individuals in photography. Participants do not have to be certified, qualified or a professional photographer, as long as they can submit a body of work of no less than seven and not more than 17 images.

You do not have to follow a theme

The 3rd SIPF Open Call gives free reign for photographers to submit their most original and exciting body of work by having no thematic restrictions. Discernibly, the work submitted should embody and convey a consistent message, idea, theme and/or topic. Works submitted will be selected by the 3rd SIPF curators Alejandro Castellote, Patricia Levasseur de la Motte and Zeng Han, and exhibited according to their curatorial decision at various locations in Singapore and subsequently in other countries when the festival travels. Only shortlisted works will be exhibited.

You do not even have to be Singaporean

SIPF Open Call welcomes all photographers to participate regardless of nationality. In the last SIPF, 6500 works were submitted from which 550 outstanding prints by 48 photographers of 23 different nationalities were shortlisted.

Said Ms Gwen Lee, Festival Director, SIPF, “We have received amazing work in the past two SIPF Open Calls, and so for a photo-aficionado like me, I just can’t wait to see what’s coming. We are also working with three new curators this time – Alejandro Castellote, Patricia Levasseur de la Motte and Zeng Han. The curators are highly esteemed art professionals, and we feel very honoured to be able to get them involved. I’m sure the collaboration will bring something different to the festival.”

Gathered around Photography

The 3rd SIPF will be a month-long festival with a compelling mix of photography exhibitions, workshops, portfolio reviews, film screenings and forums, suitable for artists, professionals and amateurs. It is set to inspire everyone through the medium of photography, and hopes to encourage more interaction among artists and audience.

Please refer to Editor’s Notes for curators’ bio and more information on participation and work submission to the 3rd Singapore International Photography Festival.

In every SIPF, the portfolio review session has attracted photographers from the region to showcase their best works to the panel of reviewers. From the panelist, the best portfolio works are highlighted to the public.

The best portfolio participants of SIPF 2010 are:
Ang Song Nian, Mintio, Sean Lee, Tristan Cai and Zhao Renhui.

To kick start the NOMAD series, SIPF have Sabanci University as our partner to showcase the works by these 5 talents.

The professional workshop is driven by the style, approach and process used by the instructor. This is not a technique driven workshop or a problem solving session, but rather the participants will work closely with the instructor to develop your own individual body of works. The participants are expected be proactive and independent to gain valuable input for their own development.

Application starts now, and acceptance based on your portfolio.
