FUJIFILM Corporation (President: Kenji Sukeno) has announced that it will hold this year’s “PHOTO IS ― 50,000-person photo exhibition”, the exhibition series aimed at sharing the joy of taking photos and the fun of decorating with photo prints, from July 12 in Japan.

Continuing on from last year, the company takes the concept of the photo exhibition overseas under the title “FUJIFILM Global Photo Exhibition,” expanding the program to cover ten countries including the United States and Europe. A total of about 110,000 photos will be displayed around the world, including Japan, to globally disseminate the “joy of photography, fun of decorating with photo prints and preservation of precious memories through photography.” Ahead of the exhibition launch in Japan, Johannesburg of South Africa has become the first host of the international version of the exhibition in the African continent. Visitors enjoyed 3,011 photos on display.

The “PHOTO IS – 50,000-person photo exhibition” is one of Japan’s largest open participation photo exhibitions, displaying all entries along with comments about participants’ thoughts behind their images. It started as a “10,000-person photo exhibition” in 2006 and has since enjoyed a steady increase of entries. Fujifilm expanded the scale of the exhibition to a “50,000-person photo exhibition” in 2017, and is celebrating the 14th exhibition this year.

The program in Japan attracted record-high 57,564 entries (103% compared to last year) from people with the age ranging from 0 year old to 97 year old. The ratio of entries taken with a smartphone* rose from last year’s 47% to 53%. Many entries captured casual moments in life spent with friends and families, and included unique photos taken with a creative composition, and photos taken at the turn from the Heisei era to the new Reiwa era.

Fujifilm will continue to cater to diversifying customer needs in providing convenient and value-added products and services, while conveying photography’s intrinsic values of “shooting, preserving, decorating and gifting.”
