Download in PDF Format

NOVA24 | Photo + Film Festival was created in 2023 by Mara Magyarosi-Laytner and Raymar to create a platform to connect Detroit photographers and filmmakers with the world. There are over 100+ lens based festivals in cities internationally and it's time for Detroit to take the stage!

The annual festival, started in July 2024, was established to connect the innovators of Detroit's lens based industry by creating opportunities for exhibitions, film screenings, artist talks, workshops, and more throughout the Detroit metropolitan region in a range of indoor and outdoor experiences. We are looking for work that particularly highlights innovation and experimentation in our field.

Beyond our featured festival highlights, we still have openings to highlight the best and most innovative photo + film work in multiple NOVA24 festival events. This is the best way to make sure that you are on our radar!

Apply to this open call if:
- You have a great project for us to see!
- You don't have a current location secured.
- You're open to being involved in multiple potential ways. (You can select your interests on the application!)
