For ten years in a row, the photo salon in the city under the 7 hills has been steadily reviving the tradition of our city’s past to hold an annual international photography review here.

IPS Plovdiv was once again in the cultural calendar of Plovdiv city. A luxurious album in a book with some of the best photographs was printed thanks to the financial support of the Municipality of Plovdiv. We hoped for the participation of the most active and good photo creators from around the world, from which the jury could evaluate, award and select the most impressive photo works. And this happened – even with a record number of photographs and authors. 5,851 photographs were submitted by 382 participants from 42 countries.

In last year again, the promotion for young photographers from all over the world (from 16 to 21 years old) with free participation in 2 sections of their personal choice was valid at the stage of acceptance of works. The conclusions from the past years are that there is interest from young people, and the best of them win prizes. Another promotion for the anniversary of the salon was that every participant who participated in 1 to 5 sections received 1 more section for free!
