ISSP is designed for young professionals, students of photography and art,
artists using photography, and amateurs with practical knowledge and keen
interest in photographic practice. You must have an active relationship
with the medium of photography and desire to bring it to a new level via
intense learning experience.

You must satisfy the following basic requirements:

You have an active interest in photography as a medium of self-expression
or are already professionally working in the field;
You have engaged yourself in studying photography in a professional and/or
arts school, a photo-club, or by means of self-study;
You are proficient with the use of your camera (technical elements of
photography are not a part of the ISSP curricula);
You are at least 18 years old; there is no upper age limit for participation;
You are able to understand and express yourself freely in English, the
official language of the ISSP;
If choosing to work in black&white, you must have technical knowledge of
the BW process (developing films and making prints from negatives);
If choosing to work digitally, you must have some background knowledge in
processing and printing digital images. Your camera must have sufficient
resolution to produce high quality A4 size prints;
You must also agree to adhere to the rules of ISSP.
Participation in ISSP for more than 3 consecutive years is not encouraged
- the long-term participants are invited to apply as volunteers. Former
ISSP students must show that they have been actively working on personal
projects in photography since the last attendance (do not submit final
works from ISSP in your portfolio selection, we have seen them already).
To apply

Submit an electronic APPLICATION FORM, including motivation for
participation and a small portfolio selection of up to 12 photographs
taken within last two years.
Participation fees and costs

ISSP is a non-commercial event, aimed to promote the development of
emerging photographers in Latvia as well as broader Eastern Europe/CIS and
further. The fees are kept at cost to allow the most talented participants
to take part. Full participation fee is 500 eur, which includes campus
accommodation and full board for 8 days. We also offer a limited number of
fee subsidies for most qualified applicants from Latvia and Eastern
Europe/CIS who cannot afford to pay the full fee. Subsidized participation
fee is 260 eur.
The students are responsible for the costs of film development and
printing, transport costs to the location (including all visa-related
costs if necessary), and their incidental expenses during the workshop.

Selection of participants and timeline

The ISSP has a limited number of spaces - we can accommodate up to 72
participants (10-12 per workshop). The most interesting and motivated
candidates are selected based on their applications. The main selection
criteria for potential students are their background, motivation, and
quality of their prior work. Evaluation of applications is performed by
invited experts-photographers.
Workshop allocation is done taking into account the quality of
applications and basic group dynamics factors. When admitted, you will be
offered a place at a concrete workshop. The final decision on admission
and allocation of subsidy scholarships is taken by ISSP.

The results of selection process shall be communicated by email in early
June. The students must confirm their participation by payment of advance
fee within 10 days of notification.
