This is a collective annual publication with photos of snowmen from all over the place taken through the cold season that just passed.

We want to gather a periodical collection of warm winter fun. In a broader sense, these images are tied to climate change, rituals, collective effort and playing together.

You can look at it in a serious doomsday manner or in a childish whimsical way. It’s valuable because its diversity. Different hands molding different shapes of different snow on different places. Think of it as a Remote Winter Sculpture Camp. Let’s see what you have been up to.

The photobook will be published on snow white paper by the end of spring. Each featured artist gets a copy, that’s why we need your contact information. We aim to do this every year in order to showcase talent on this specific subject, and to make the snowmen last more than a few days. There is a specific type of snow that is perfect for molding, and especially good for building big and tall, which doesn’t come about every winter. So the rare occasions to make good snowmen are quite special, because you also have to get some people together to do it.

You can submit any type of image as long as it has a snowman in it. It can be a real one made of real snow, or it can be a symbolic depiction like a puppet in a storefront, a drawing, a Christmas tree decoration or a sweater. We are also really interested in photographs of people building the snowman, the process, the result or the aftermath - two days later when it has almost melted.

Film photography and digital photography is equally accepted.

We will select the images with composition in mind. It is a photography book first and a social document second. People will be studying this in the future and marvel at the primal weather we were having in these golden years of civilization. Well, not really, we’re just making something permanent of something temporary.

LONG LIVE THE SNOWMAN!
