We've been nominated for the Swedish Photobook Award 2024!


The jury's statement for “Things Change Anyway”: 

The work manifests the affirmation of a state in constant change, in a symbiotic process that turns and twists the queer. The political meets the personal, which is also reflected in the form of the book. The reading becomes an intimate meeting that shows how we can become braver together.


The five nominees for the Swedish Photobook Award 2024 are Thomas Wågström, Elina Birkehag, Kjell-Åke Andersson, MC Coble & Louise Wolthers and Jenny Lindhe. 


Women's history, queer thinking and retrospectives in both light and darkness are parts of the content of the five nominated books for the Swedish Photo Book Award 2024. The winner will be announced on March 20 2024 in Stockholm, Sweden

The Swedish Photobook Prize recognizes photography in book form and is awarded annually by the Photo Authors within SFF. The prize was established in 1996, and in 2024 the Photo Book Prize will be awarded for the 28th time. The winner will be chosen at the photobook gala on 20 March 2024 and will receive a scholarship of SEK 40,000, and the nominees will receive a scholarship of SEK 10,000 each.  It's an honor to be included among the five other nominees for the Swedish Photobook Award 2024 including Thomas Wågström, Elina Birkehag, Kjell-Åke Andersson, MC Coble & Louise Wolthers and Jenny Lindhe. 


It's extra special to be next to Jenny Lindhe and her book 'Tingen' as the small publishing company that she co-runs Breadfield Press is one of two publishers that decided to take a chance and support us with our own book. So Breadfield Press has published 2 out of 5 nominated books this year!
