Participating in a photography festival in Korea

Yeoju International Photo Festival 2025 (YIPF2025) takes place from Saturday, October 25 to November 20, 2025, in Yeoju, Gyeonggi Province, Korea.

Yeoju is a city rich in the Yeoju River, abundant nature, and diverse cultural heritage, including the Royal Tomb of King Sejong.

A small city where urban life and nature are in harmony, with excellent access from Seoul and other regions, it holds a special appeal for photographers and visitors alike.

The festival has grown beyond a venue for exhibiting works into a valuable place of exchange for the Korean photography community.

Once a year, photographers from Korea and abroad gather to share their artistic worlds, talk openly about life and art, and find new inspiration.

For photographers and visitors alike, the festival in Yeoju is “a precious time and place to talk together about work and life.”

This year’s theme is “Everyday Life, Memory, and Time That Becomes History.”

It illuminates both sides of photography: “record” and “art.”

YIPF is made possible by the efforts of Yu Byeong-wook (Dr. Print) and the organizing team, the interest and cooperation of the participating artists, and exhibition support from the Yeoju Sejong Culture and Tourism Foundation.

We hope it will grow into an international event representing Yeoju and continue to be a valuable experience that develops together with the local community.
