Project in Development supports makers looking for creative and financial partners. Project in Production supports near-complete works looking for completion support and a route to their first audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lightroom Expanded<\/strong> is a separate development programme for projects where reaching larger or shared audiences, presenting the work repeatedly, or touring across different venues is central to the artistic or distribution ambition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lightroom Expanded is a partnership between IFFR, UPscaleXR and DASHXR, with support from Cultuurloket DigitALL. It offers tailored support around storytelling and audience design, technical and production choices for repeatable presentation, and audience reach, touring and distribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t<div data-name=\"acf\/block-buttons\" class=\"align\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<ul class=\"flex flex-wrap gap-2 md:gap-6\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\n\n\n<a\n\tclass=\"group btn btn-outline  \"\n\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/iffr.com\/en\/iffr-pro\/lightroom\/lightroom-expanded\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\n\t\t\t<span data-button-text>\n\t\t\tRead more about Lightroom Expanded\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"transition-transform duration-300 group-hover:translate-x-2 group-focus-visible:translate-x-2 flex items-center justify-center w-[1em] h-[1em] icon group-expanded:hidden\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t<svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"m23.575 13.022-8.639 8.638a1.442 1.442 0 0 1-2.04-2.04l6.18-6.177H1.44a1.44 1.44 0 0 1 0-2.88h17.637l-6.178-6.18a1.442 1.442 0 0 1 2.04-2.04l8.638 8.638a1.44 1.44 0 0 1-.002 2.04Z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/><\/svg>\n\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\n\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Submissions for Lightroom 2027<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Submit your project here for the two Lightroom Market pathways: Projects in Development and Projects in Production.
