Emerging Fotografiska - Public Profile Pages

1. Do I need to be approved to use the platform?

No. You can create a profile and apply to Open Calls without being approved. Approval is only needed if you’d like your profile to become publicly visible on the platform.

2. Is having a public profile mandatory?

No, not at all. Creating a public profile is completely optional. You can keep your profile private and still use it to apply to Open Calls.

3. Why should I apply for approval?

Applying for approval gives you the opportunity to make your profile visible to others on the Emerging platform. Once approved, your profile will appear in the Explore tab and you will receive your own individual Fotografiska URL that you can share. It’s a way to present your work more widely and be discoverable by curators, collaborators, and the wider Emerging community.

4. What happens when my profile is approved?

Once your profile is approved, it becomes publicly visible on the platform, appears in the Explore tab, and receives its own individual Fotografiska URL that you can share with others.

5. Where will my public profile appear?

Approved profiles are visible on the Emerging platform and can be discovered through the Explore tab.

To apply for approval, your profile should feel complete and give a clear sense of your artistic practice.

This includes:

- social media accounts or website

You do not need any formal education or professional experience. What matters most is that your profile thoughtfully represents you and your work.

Once you apply for approval, the Fotografiska Emerging team reviews your profile with care, looking at its completeness, presentation, and artistic direction.
