About festival
The photography festival, Split Format, was started by Maja Prgomet, the president of Fotoklub Split and members of the Fotoklub whose enthusiasm made the first festival possible.
Split Format is an international festival made to promote photography theory and practice, art, intercultural dialogue, exchange of ideas, and different perspectives through the most predominant medium of today- photography. The program includes a whole spectrum of events, from exhibitions and workshops, Photo Talks, portfolio viewings, to lectures by renowned and world-known photographers and it is meant for a wider audience.

Fotoklub Split
Fotoklub Split is a citizen’s association that has been gathering people who love photography and photographic art.
The association was founded in April 1911 by respectable and distinguished citizens of Split, professor Umberta Girometti Girometti and Juraja Božičević. Fotoklub Split has been on the same address at the very heart of the city since 1953 – Marmontova Street 5. Since 1956, and as a part of the Fotoklub, a photography Gallery has been opened and it has been continually exhibiting photographs exclusively. It is the only gallery in Croatia that does this without interruptions. The Gallery holds about twenty exhibitions a year and the number of visitors reaches 60 thousand (a year).
The rich history of the Fotoklub has given us many great names of Croatian and European photography and it has given a tremendous contribution to the development of local and national photography scene and art.
The Photography Gallery of the Fotoklub Split and Fotoklub Split have been protected since 2014 as a Cultural property at the Registry of Cultural Property of Croatia.
