Swedish Photobook Prize 2022
20220319 - 20220410
For the second year in a row, the Center for Photography is displaying all the books submitted for the Swedish Photobook Prize. It is an excellent opportunity to browse and immerse yourself in all the photobooks that have been submitted to this year’s edition.
Many of the books are self-published and released by smaller publishers, while others have been published by both Swedish and international publishers. In several cases, the photobook takes a political stance that defends education, responsibility, ecology, diversity, or social justice.
The five nominees for this year’s prize are Erik Berglin, The Bird Project 2006–2017, Monika Macdonald, Hulls, Mårten Lange, Ghost Witness, Kent Klich, A Tree Called Home, Karl-Johan Stigmark, Åtta Pappershändelser. The nominees all talk about their projects in separate films that can be seen in the gallery.
This year’s winner of the Swedish Photobook Prize is Erik Berglin with The Bird Project 2006–2017.
The Swedish Photobook Prize has been awarded by the Photo Authors within the Swedish Photographers’ Association since 1996.

April 2, 2:00 PM–3:00 PM
A book is created – photobook publishing from different perspectives
What are the advantages and disadvantages of publishing with a large publisher and with your own publisher? How are books distributed and how does the photographer collaborate with the designer? Per Englund, Sandra Praun, and Fredrik von Zweigbergk share their experiences and different types of processes.
The exhibition with associated program is a collaboration with Fotoförfattarna/Svenska Fotografers Förbund.
