The Paf Tachov Festival will take place from April 10 to 12, 2026, at the Mže social complex in Tachov.
Applications for this year's PAF Tachov festival are now open. The deadline for submitting applications is Sunday, March 1, 2026, at midnight.
 

NEW: A new interactive competition photo gallery is now available. After the expert jury has completed its evaluation, visitors to the festival website will be able to rate the photos in the PAF Tachov competition gallery. The most successful authors in the audience rating will also receive awards.

We look forward to seeing your work.

NOTICE - author's address 

Dear competitors,

Due to undeliverability or failure to pick up the shipment, several awards are returned to Tachov every year. We would like to ask you to check the address in the application. Please use an address where you can be reached approximately one month after the festival ends.
All photographers, please check your address in the application https://newfest.paftachov.cz/ to see if it is up-to-date and correct it if necessary.
If you require a different delivery date for the plaque or price, please inform us in advance.
Due to the current financial burden of transport costs, we do not send returned parcels a second time. All returned shipments can be collected from the festival organizers until the next year of the PAF Tachov festival.
Exceptionally, it is possible to send the prize a second time and only at the author's expense.
