Submissions can be sent via the form on the official website until April 17th.
Zines of the Zone is a mobile library dedicated to self-published photobooks, photozines, and any DIY printed matter related to photography. Their aim is to create a European network and generate a public collection of these alternative practices.
The ZOTZ collection can be found on their blog.
Paper Beats Rock is a group of enthusiasts who organize, among others, workshops during which zines are produced.
"Paper Beats Rock" is a publishing enterprise, educational programme, pop-up library and a collective of creative minds. It is a response to the shortage of institutions, which could without any strings attached help young artists to accomplish their projects.
We believe that the use of images has become a social skill, in consequence the boundary between recognized artist and amateur starts to fade at the same time leaving much more space for a discussion. We wish to give an equally strong voice to unknown, but definitely interesting artists. – official statement
