Photobook Mania 2025: The Year of Photographic Publishing
In 2025, PhMuseum Days was not held: the festival has become biennial and is scheduled for autumn 2026. In odd-numbered years, the platform presents Photobook Mania, its new fair dedicated to photographic books. The first edition took place in Bologna on October 18 and 19, 2025, at Serra Madre, within the Serre dei Giardini Margherita complex, with free admission.
The event brought together over twenty independent publishers from around the world, showcasing a selection of photobooks representing the most innovative trends in contemporary publishing. The program included more than forty meetings with artists and professionals, thematic workshops, and two main exhibitions, including that of the PhMuseum 2025 Photobook Award, with thirty projects in competition. The winner, announced on Saturday, October 18, will be published by PhMuseum and presented at PhMuseum Days 2026. Among the awards was also the Banca di Bologna Prize of €1,000 for authors from the Bologna area.
