To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting… It has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.

My KID.
3 photographs for $10. This is a Celebration, not a Competition. At least 1 picture by each photographer will be printed and exhibited at MPC. Please include your Kid's first name and age (in the photo) in the DATAFILE. Best of Show $300
KIDS. We were all a kid once. And we are all SOMEBODY's kid. Child. Offspring. Progeny. Hope for the future! And its doubtful we "sprung from loins"! Its alot more work than that. Especially the first 18 years. KIDS. They're precious, and profound, no matter their outcome. They become adults, but are still somebody's kid. I sat on the couch the other day as my 82 year old Mom taught me to play WORDLE at age 62. Was I still her kid? You bet! I felt like a 6-year-old again, and that was really nice.
Our modern kids have faced alot lately. A pandemic. Disruption of a normal school setting. The downside of social media. And yes, apparent danger in their formally safe places. Is it tougher to be a kid these days? I don't see many walking barefoot to school anymore. They're mostly not plowing fields behind mules, or digging coal mines. But modern challenges abound.
Let's see your kid. Playing, learning, loving, doing sports, or just being a kid. Looking for all ages: newborns to retirees. If its YOUR kid, its a kid.
This Call for Entry is not a competition, but rather a celebration of our precious kids. There will be no losers. The Mpls Photo Center will select, print, and exhibit at least 1 photograph from every photographer who enters.
Let's celebrate and revel in our children.
My KID.
(This Call for Entry will be the first exhibit on display at the Mpls Photo Center's new facility on the 1st Floor of the Van Buren building in NE Minneapolis (featuring a new studio and darkroom post-Covid), in the heart of the NE Minneapolis Arts District next to the Northrup King studio complex. Come celebrate with us Friday July 15 and enjoy your photograph!

Chiaroscuro
Darkness, shadow, and space have the power to communicate as much as light and color, but we can often overlook them in our exploration of the captured image. The essence of a photograph and other figurative artworks is a harmony of brightness, contrast, highlights, and shadows. What can the mind's eye see outside the realm of luminosity and perceive in its absence? What is made evident or alluded to by being concealed? Chiaroscuro is an international juried group exhibition open to photographers ages 18 years and older. All black and white, color, conventional and non-traditional photographic and digital post-production processes are welcome for submission.

Theme: Liquid ~ Sky 2022
Theme: Liquid ~ Sky | Curated By: Praxis Directors
Liquid conforms to the shape of its container. The sky is an abstract sphere, centered on the earth. Liquid, Water, Sky and the liminal space between are by definition poetic and symbolic. Yet there are infinite iterations of liquid & sky: consider our human drive to master and contain liquids (pools, levies, faucets and bottles); idiomatic lamentations of “spilt milk” or “water under the bridge”– while also reaching upward in towering buildings, airplanes, and rockets that push skyward.
Praxis Gallery seeks the submission of photographic art that explores the ideas of liquid and sky in their myriad iterations; from landscapes to still life – from scientific to conceptual, Praxis seeks a broadly interpreted investigation of these forever flowing, forever ethereal ideas. All genres, capture types, color and black & white, traditional and non-traditional photographic and digital post-production processes are welcome for submission.
2022 Art of the Heartland National Competition

Located in the heart of the Ouachita Mountains and National Forest at the foot of Rich Mountain and the start of the Talimena National Scenic Byway, the area is a Plein Air painter’s and photographer’s paradise. Our goal remains to assemble paintings that represent the best of representative American Art and depict the things that make America great.
This exhibition is limited to original, two-dimensional painting in oil, watercolor, pastel, acrylic and other mediums completed within the last five years. Computer generated art, photography or over painted photography are not eligible. Size is limited to 38 inches in any direction, excluding frame. For complete information, read our prospectus carefully.
Landscape:The Green Environment
For the call for The Green Environment, we are looking for work that explores a verdant landscape, be that in nature or in the midst of the city, visually expressing the concept of Green ecology or polices or addressing environment stewardship, such as visualizing the issues related to climate change and environmental concerns to keep the environment green.
Our juror for The Green Environment is Douglas Stockdale, who is a visual artist, book-nerd, science-geek and leads our popular photobook development workshops. In 2008, Stockdale founded and is currently the Senior Editor of PhotoBook Journal, a virtual magazine that provides reviews of contemporary photographic books.
35-40 Selected images will hang in the SE Center’s main gallery space for approximately one month with the opportunity to be invited for a solo show at a later date. In addition, selected images are featured in the SE Center social media accounts (FB, IG, Twitter) and an archived, online slide show. A video walkthrough of each exhibition is also featured and archived.

It is a unique and popular exhibition that breaks traditional barriers by actively encouraging all visitors to experience and explore the art on display through touch and all other senses. The experience challenges the notion that sight is essential for creating and enjoying exceptional art, while emphasizing touch as a fundamental part of our daily lives and overall sensual experience.

2022 Celebrate Agriculture with the Arts Competition and Exhibition
Madera County Arts Council's Celebrate Agriculture with the Arts program honors the beauty, history and culture of California agriculture. 2022 proudly marks the 29th consecutive year of this unique competition and exhibition. The 2021 program is organized into five agriculturally themed categories into which original artwork is entered. Open to all artists 18 years or older who reside in California. Art media including paint and drawing, sculpture, fiber art, photography, jewelry and mixed media may be entered in any and all categories. Juried entries are eligible for cash awards supported by the Agricultural Industry of California and patrons of the arts.
Degenerate
In 1937, The Degenerate Art exhibition (Die Ausstellung "Entartete Kunst") was conceived and held in Nazi Germany, where party propagandists portrayed, mocked, and vilified the works of renowned modern artists as evidence of criminality and deviance. Nevertheless, the event was more popular with spectators than the accompanying state-sponsored exhibition intended to display the more classical type of art advocated by the regime. In the contemporary context, one could suspect a passionate photographer possesses the means, motive, and opportunity to capture the debaucherous image. What is your interpretation of "degenerate," and how does your work oppose the blasé mainstream narrative preferred by the state and status quo? All black and white, color, conventional and non-traditional photographic and digital post-production processes are welcome for submission.

SHOW DESCRIPTION - “This is Surreal” - Surrealism was a cultural movement which developed in Europe in the aftermath of World War I and was largely influenced by Dada. The movement is best known for its visual artworks and the juxtaposition of distant realities to activate the unconscious mind through the imagery. Surrealism defies logic, using dream imagery to liberate the psyche and tap hidden reservoirs of creativity. With the spirit of spontaneity and random effects, dream-like scenes and symbolic images one creates artistic expression.

NYC4PA PRIMARY COLORS 2022
RED, YELLOW, and BLUE balloons were the trademark of Wonder Bread for 1950s TV kids. They are also the three basic paint colors an artist needs. Although mixed together you can create a world of color, each stands out on its own as an important visual element.
This competition is about images in which one of these colors is a critical component. You will submit each image into one of the categories RED, BLUE or YELLOW. Possibilities include - black and white photographs with a single point of color, a red, yellow or blue monochrome, essentially any image where red, yellow or blue stands out as an important part of the composition. Is the blue sky a main element of your image, a red ball or maybe a funky pair of yellow sunglasses? Have you modified a print to be all shades of red? Be creative and send us your best!
