Together, we are looking beyond the traditional family portrait to examine family relationships in all their complexity. This call addresses family in every form, whether through bloodline, heritage, or chosen community. We encourage works that explore the performance of familial roles and challenge the deliberate choices behind what gets preserved in the album versus what remains unrecorded.

This open call for photobooks creates space for critical and poetic approaches to artist books and other kind of publications as a form of shared authorship, collaboration, and storytelling. We welcome publications that engage thoughtfully with contemporary life, visual culture, and the material and narrative possibilities of the book. Selected projects will be featured in Der Greif’s editorial "In Focus" column, offering international visibility and long-term archival presence.
