Photo 24 It’s time to apply for your place on Photo 24 – a free, day-long festival in London

THERE’S NOTHING QUITE like Photo 24, a 24-hour photography extravaganza in the capital on one of the longest days of the year. It’s packed with photo walks, workshops, experiences and challenges – and it’s free. This year’s Photo 24 is sponsored by MPB, winner of best used specialist retailer in the Photography News 2021 Awards. MPB will also be offering events and prizes. The day kicks off at 12 noon on 25 June at an exclusive central London location. This will be Photo 24 headquarters for the festival, accessible for the duration of the event. PN team members will also be on hand to offer help, advice and inspiration for 24 hours. Places are limited, so we can ensure every attendee has a great

experience. Applications are now open via our website, and it’s a simple registration process. We want to be as fair as possible, so while entry is open, the closing date is not until 17 May 2022 – only after that will a ballot be held for places. Successful applicants will be emailed shortly after, with confirmation of their place and specific details of the events, competitions and walks available. Most are free, but optional, paid-for activities are on offer. Photo 24 is an all-day festival, but that doesn’t mean you have to shoot the whole time.

The process is efficient, fuss-free and transparent. If you’re looking to upgrade kit or clear the cupboard, MPB is the place to start. mpb.com

If it’s an item MPB regularly deals in, you’ll get an instant quote. For more unusual products, a quote will come in 24 hours or less. Once you are happy, MPB sends a courier to collect the kit, and after its technical experts have checked it over thoroughly, you will be given a final quote. If your item selection was incorrect, or your assessment of the kit’s condition is different from MPB’s, you will be contacted. When the final offer is accepted, the cash is sent to your bank account shortly after – or you can use it as credit to buy from MPB. If you decline, the equipment will be returned gratis.

MPB has transformed how image makers sell and buy pre-loved kit. Founded in 2011, MPB has always been committed to making it easier to buy and trade-in equipment. Now, over 300,000 items are recirculated each year, and it has headquarters in the UK, Germany and the US. MPB was named the best used specialist retailer in this year’s PN Awards. Whether you want to buy or sell kit, the process is simple. To sell, start typing in the camera or lens name and the website’s predictive search will make suggestions about your item – just click on the correct one. Next, you’ll be asked about its condition.
