Only the selected works will become part of a prestigious paper volume that will be presented during Trieste Photo Days 2023 festival (end of October). A selection of photos and/or projects will become part of the festival catalogue.
The best photos will be displayed in an international collective exhibition at the end of October 2023 as part of Trieste Photo Days.
Selected photographers with more than one photo may also be exhibited as part of the Photo Days Tour (in Friuli Venezia Giulia region, at one or more prestigious venues to be defined). The aim is to make 71% – The State of Water a widespread exhibition.
