In June 2026, the Getxophoto International Image Festival will turn 20. After pressing the PAUSE, PLAY, and REC buttons –the themes of the three previous editions– the common thread for the next edition could only be… RESET. This button invites us to reboot the system.

We know that anniversaries are moments to celebrate and rejoice, but they are also excellent opportunities to look back and take stock, to review our archives and get a glimpse of what we have changed. At the same time, this is a time to project ourselves forward with renewed energy, just as when soil is ploughed so that seeds can be sown again.

So for this call we are looking for proposals that use photography, installation, video, actions, digital art or any other means of visual expression that address the idea of ​​a RESET – in other words, experiences of change, reworking, recycling and reinvention; of life cycles and celebrations; of individual or collective stories of resetting. A system reboot in any of its many forms.

Projects may be submitted in both English and Spanish.
This call is carried out in collaboration with Picter platform.
