Chania International Photo festival has been created by Blank Wall Gallery. Its aim is to gather more than 320 photographers from around the world each year, turning the town of Chania into an international centre of artistic expression focusing on photography. During the last two years, we managed to make this festival an established international institution. In our effort the Municipality of Chania responded favorably as a co organiser, offering the venues for the festival to be held.

You can take part in one of our 16 Categories
