ephemere photobook grant 2026

We are seeking a photobook that needs to exist. The Ephemere Photobook Grant 2026 prioritizes projects with visceral resonance over technical perfection—works that feel like they are becoming or un-becoming. We established this initiative to find a singular vision and collaborate with the artist to transform a rough dummy into a finalized monograph in Tokyo.

Ephemere champions the photobook as a physical object that demands to be held. We are not looking for loose files; we are seeking a cohesive vision that is ready to be born. The goal is to discover one artist and fully produce their debut or sophomore monograph.
