KAUNAS PHOTO is the longest-running annual photo festival in the Baltic States focusing on emerging photographers, taking place every September in the second-largest Lithuanian town of Kaunas since 2004. The program of the festival includes traditional and open-space exhibitions, talks, photo nights, KAUNAS PHOTO STAR portfolio reviews and more.

It is a platform for dialogue around contemporary photographic creation between North and South, East and West. While being the prime event of art photography in Lithuania, KAUNAS PHOTO does not solely focus on Lithuanian photography. Its programs and projects, such as exhibition and book “Generation ’74. 11 European Photographers born in 1974” feature a vast menu of internationally acclaimed photographers.
