  • How do you choose the teams? Can I work with my friend?

    Participants are organized into international teams of 6-10 photographers by VASA staff. If possible, no more than two (2) participants will be from the same geographic area and we try to avoid putting participants who know each other ahead of time onto the same team.

  • How do I interact and work with my team?

    Participants are organized into teams and each team is provided a work and exhibition space on the Internet, using the Facebook platform. Teams will meet once per week using Google+ Hangouts. (Google+ Hangouts is a free video conferencing service.) Each participant will also be added to the VASA members list for emailed announcements and newsletters.

  • What happens to the team after the session is over?

    After the project is completed and exhibited, the team may elect to stay together or form another team to collaborate on the next theme/session.

  • I'm not very tech savvy. Do you offer any technical help?

    Yes!
    Each team will have a mentor who will be available to help you with questions of all kinds. We also have a technical support advisor who can be reached at gpp-helpdesk@vasa-project.com.

  • What if I have more questions?

    Please email: gpp-helpdesk@vasa-project.com
