Photo Catalogs
​
We immortalize our photography competitions, organized to carry our cultural heritage into the future and to support art, with our prestige catalogs that hold artistic archive value. Following our 3 successfully completed competitions, we continue our preparations for our new competition with the same high production standards. Within this scope, our special catalogs, printed in a limited run of only 1,000 copies for each competition, are produced in a large 33x30 cm format, featuring 120 pages on 170 gsm matte coated paper. This archive series carries a true collector's value with its spot UV (local varnish) application that highlights the aesthetics of the photographs, its hardcover wrapped in linen book cloth, its durable thread-sewn binding, and its protective dust jacket, standing as the most tangible indicator of the value we place on art.
​
You can access and download the photo catalogs for free from ESDER's website.
