Self-Portrait
We’re excited to invite photographers from around the world to submit photographic work for an upcoming exhibition exploring the theme: "Self-Portrait".
Who are you when you turn the camera on yourself?
This open call invites photographers and lens-based artists to explore the art of self-representation. From traditional portraiture to conceptual explorations of identity, memory, and presence, Self-Portraits seeks to uncover the many ways we construct, disguise, and discover ourselves through the photographic image.
We welcome a wide range of interpretations — from intimate personal studies to performative or experimental works that challenge the boundaries of self-portraiture. Submissions may include digital, analog, mixed media, or alternative photographic processes.
Landscape
We invite photographers from all backgrounds and levels to submit work for an upcoming exhibition centered around the theme: "Landscape".
This call seeks to explore the diverse interpretations of landscapes - from vast natural vistas and remote terrains to urban environments and altered ecosystems.
We welcome entries that approach the theme traditionally or challange the conventional definitions of landscape photography. Whether your work captures the grandeur of nature, the subtlety of human impact, or the complexity of place and space, we want to see how you frame the world around you.
All film, digital, alternative processes, or hybrid works that engage with the idea of Landscape photography are acceptable.
Monochrome
We invite photographers from all backgrounds and levels to submit work for an upcoming exhibition centered around the theme: "Monochrome", an exhibiton celebrating the power of single-color photography. This theme explores the emotional depth, contrast, texture, and composition that emerge when color is reduced - or focused to a single hue.
All film, digital, alternative processes, or hybrid works that engage with the idea of monochrome photography are acceptable.
Doubling Down
We invite artitsts to submit work for an upcoming exhibition reflecting on the idea of Doubling Down.
Instead of looking for individual images, we are looking for images that match up will with another. Artists may submit up to 5 images with each submission. Artists who are selected will have 2 images from that submission on exhibition, the main criteria being that they pair well with each other.
Interpret the theme as broadly or as intimately as you wish. Consider the ways your images relate to each other. How they complement each other. They do not have to be of the same subject although they could be), but only that they pair well with each other.
Inscrutable
We invite artitsts to submit work for an upcoming exhibition centered around the theme: Inscrutable
We seek work that resists easy interpretation. Images that conceal more than they reveal, that provoke questions without offering answers.
We encourage artists to consider the words of William Klein: "What would please me most is to make photographs as incomprehensible as life."
