Boooooom x Format Launch Creative Development Program
Boooooom and Format have partnered to launch the Creative Development Program, a free initiative supporting visual creators at a pivotal stage in their practice. The program offers one grand prize winner a lifetime Format subscription and personal mentorship from Jeff Hamada, Booooooom's Editor-in-Chief. Two runners-up will receive a one-year Format plan and a portfolio review with Format's Stanzie Tooth. Applicants must sign up for a free Format trial, submit images of their work, and provide two short statements: one describing the work and one outlining their current practice and desired support. The program prioritizes curiosity and commitment over polished portfolios or large audiences. Applications close September 2, 2026.
