159th Edinburgh International Exhibition of Photography 2023
Dear Photographers,
Welcome to the 159th Edinburgh International of Photography 2023.
The 159th running of this prestigious International Print Exhibition will open for entries on March 12th and close on June 5th 2023. We have allowed an extra week for print delivery, but your entry needs to be completed by 5th June.
The Exhibition follows our familiar format of two Print sections, Open Monochrome (PSA PPDM LARGE) and Open Colour (PSA PPDC Large). Entrants may submit up to FOUR prints in each section.
We have recognised the cost involved in posting prints and consequently have reduced our entry fees this year by 33% from last year to make entering less costly. One section costs £10 to enter and both sections can be entered for £12.
There are 33 Awards to be won including 9 Gold Medals.
The Exhibition will be displayed in Edinburgh Photographic Society’s premises in Edinburgh’s New Town during the Edinburgh Festivals from August 5th to August 27th 2023. Last year’s Exhibition was very well attended and we look forward to receiving a few thousand visitors again this year.
The entry site can be accessed here https://www.edinburghphotosalon.com/
Here you may download previous year’s catalogues and click through to enter and find more details and information on the entry site hosted on the MyPhotoClub site in Australia.
All entrants who visit the 159th Edinburgh International Exhibition gain free entry and may also collect an A4 printed copy of the catalogue without further charge. A PDF of the Catalogue is made available to all entrants or one may be posted to those paying the postage supplement.
We look forward to receiving your images and to another hugely successful Edinburgh International Exhibition in 2023.
Kind Regards,
Alexander D. Berndt ARPS EFIAP

The 159th Edinburgh International Print Exhibition 2023
We look forward to welcoming back new and past entrants to the 159th running of our prestigious exhibition.
The 159th Edinburgh International 2023 will open for entries in mid-March 2023.
First run in 1861 this is one of the longest running exhibitions in the world. Updates to follow.

The 158th Edinburgh International Exhibition of Photography is Open
Our 158th Exhibition is open as part of the Edinburgh International Fringe at Edinburgh Photographic Society’s premises in Edinburgh. See attached image below of one of the accepted entries.
Printed catalogues will be sent to all entrants, who have paid the supplementary contribution towards our postage costs once the exhibition closes.
All visitors to the exhibition receive a full colour printed A4 catalogue of the accepted prints which are each mat-mounted and framed. A PDF of the Catalogue can be downloaded here
I’d like to acknowledge here the work of Colin Woods of MyPhotoClub whose software takes away much of the hard work of laying out the images in the catalogue. The bones of the catalogue layout are done for you and I found that a great time-saver when producing the final item.
Print returns are beginning now to those unsuccessful entrants who paid for the return postage. Those with accepted prints who have paid for return postage will have their prints returned after the exhibition closes.
Thanks to all who entered. We look forward to seeing you again for the 159th Edinburgh International Exhibition 2023 which will open for entry in the spring (Northern Hemisphere) of 2023.
Best wishes,
Doug
