FOTOFEST '26

Shayne Jeffares - Event Manager of FOTOFEST shared this;

"Here is what is coming up as we gear up for FOTOFEST '26, September 28th to October 22nd. It's our 5th festival and we are planning an amazing event this year. I do say that each year but this year I am really buzzing.

Sure hope you can support us in some way, from exhibiting your work, hosting a workshop, lending a hand setting up, attending an event and being part of growing this festival into something really special.

If you are considering exhibiting this year it's time to start planning. Registrations for Exhibitors will open May 20th.

We have our charity fundraiser on May 26th with a print auction and special VIP screening of I AM MARTIN PARR doco. This is going to be a great event of networking and raising some funds for our youth programme.  Book tickets here!

This year we have several invited guest exhibitors and one we are keeping under wraps until the big announcement at the end of May. All I can say is, UK Photographer, big name, never shown in New Zealand, so a big first for us and huge privilege as well. 

Seeking partnerships:

To bring this all together we are seeking partnerships to help with costs but also to partner with us going forward. Aligning with a grassroots event like FOTOFEST can bring multiple opportunities to your business or brand, both locally and nationally with our marketing reach around the country.

If this is something that resonates with you, we would love to meet for a coffee and chat and see how a win win can be acheived. We have sponsorship information ready and happy to send a copy out to you to view.  If you would like to consider partnering with us please reach out to me via hello@fotofest.nz

Keep following us on socials for announcements as they happen. Find us on Instagram and Facebook. If you have any questions at all or want to talk over ideas, please reach out anytime."
