What Makes this event different?
No entry fee, no physical submission. This is the launch exhibition of a new platform for print exchange between photographers — not a competition. Selected artists become permanent Founding Artists, visibly marked in the app.

Most photographers don't actually want their own work on their walls. They want other people's. Images by photographers whose eye they respect, pictures they'd want to look at every day. Print Swap is built for that.
The platform is a place where photographers and visual artists exchange physical, gallery-quality prints directly with each other. No buying, no selling, no feed. Two artists decide each other's work is worth hanging. Both prints go into production with The Print Space. Both get delivered properly.
The exhibition opens on 7 May 2026 at The Print Space, 74 Kingsland Road, London E2 8DL. 50 prints selected from every image uploaded before 1 May. Selected artists become Founding Artists: a permanent distinction, visibly marked in the app, recognising their role in establishing the platform from day one.
No entry fee, no physical submission. Upload through the Print Swap iOS app, set your print specifications, and your image is eligible. If selected, the exhibition print is produced and displayed at no cost to you, covered by Print Swap and The Print Space.

The selection question is simple: would a fellow photographer be genuinely excited to swap for this? No genre requirements. Photography, illustration, printmaking all welcome.
Selected artists are notified by 3 May 2026. The opening on 7 May is public. Free to attend, no ticket needed.
Print Swap was founded by Sam Faulkner, photographer.
