The third Angkor Photography Festival will be held in Siem Reap, Cambodia, from November 18th to 28th.

For the program of exhibitions and slide-shows, the organizers are looking for stories about South and South-East Asia, China, India and Far-East Asia. Especially welcome are recent projects, but older or even historical series are not excluded. The work must be accompanied by a clear description of the project plus a short bio (120 words) and complete contact details of the photographer.

The deadline for submitting work is June 15, 2007. The selected photographers will receive an answer during the month of July. To submit your work and for further details, contact Francoise Callier .

Francoise also requested that I add the following information:

The Angkor Photography Festivalis organizing two free workshops for young Asian photographers (under 28 years old), and who must be based in Asia. To apply, send your photographs, a short biography and a text on your work to: Angkor Workshop
