The 5th FORMAT International Photography Festival took place in QUAD and venues across Derby from 4th March until 3rd April 2011. Entitled 'Right Here, Right Now: Exposures from the Public Realm', this year's festival has been curated around the theme of Street Photography through a wide variety of approaches.

The festival celebrates the wealth of contemporary practice in international photography and related media and is an opportunity to see an incredible range of new work alongside some of the best-known practitioners in the world. FORMAT provides diverse opportunities for audiences to see, debate, develop and engage in the best of what photography is and can be.

The festival programme consisted of exhibitions, portfolio reviews, workshops, commissions, talks, screenings, mass participation events, photo collectives, a conference and an international meeting place for enthusiasts and practitioners.

The festival is organised in two strands, FOCUS and EXPOSURE. FOCUS will show exhibitions and new commissions by leading international artists, while EXPOSURE will feature work by some 50 of the most exciting new photographers from around the world, alongside public participation projects.

Take part in the exhibition yourself by submitting images on street photography-related themes through MOB FORMAT.
