About the Nordic Dummy Award:
The Nordic Dummy Award is an initiative by Fotogalleriet and the Norwegian Association of Fine Art Photographers. It takes place annually in connection with the Fotobokfestival Oslo. Artists with a connection to the Nordic countries (*) can submit their unpublished photo books to be judged by a jury that shortlists candidates and selects the winner.
The winning book will be published by Kehrer Verlag in collaboration with Fotogalleriet and launched at the Fotobokfestival Oslo in 2016. The shortlisted books and the winning book will be exhibited during the Fotobokfestival Oslo at Fotogalleriet in September 2015. The winner will be announced on Friday, 11 September 2015.
In 2015 the jury consists of Anna-Kaisa Rastenberger (Curator, Finnish Museum of Photography, Helsinki), Mette Sandbye (Head of the Department of Arts and Cultural Studies, University of Copenhagen), Marie Sjøvold (photographer), Mårten Lange (photographer) and Klaus Kehrer (publisher, Kehrer Verlag).
* Applications must have a clear Nordic dimension to be eligible for review in The Nordic Dummy Award. This means that the applicant(s) must have a connection to one of the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, the Faroe Islands, Greenland or Åland); be born there, live there on a permanent basis or have spent a considerable amount of time there, for example as a student. If the content of the photo book has a considerable Nordic connection, but the applicant does not, the jury may in some cases judge the content – if it is clearly explained in the project description – as constituting a sufficient Nordic connection. Photo book dummies which do not have a Nordic connection will not be judged by the jury!
About the Fotobok Festival Oslo:
The Fotobokfestival Oslo is produced through collaboration between Fotogalleriet and The Norwegian Association of Fine Art Photographers. It was formerly known as the photo book seminar "Flere Sider Fotografi / Various Sides of Photography", established in 2010. The festival aims to explore the phenomenon of the photo book, a medium that is increasingly used both as an artistic tool and an alternative form for presenting photographic works. In 2015, the festival will consist of exhibitions, lectures and workshops, as well as a presentation of the Nordic Dummy Award shortlisted photo books and the International Dummy Award shortlisted books.
Dates: September 11–20, 2015
