“Nature Studies”
A Nature Photography Exhibition
"Nature Studies" focuses on work that examines the connections and overlaps between nature and human life. This space wishes to encourage reflection on how humans impact and are influenced by the living world around them.
Images that highlight change, transformation, or the unexpected in nature are especially relevant as they challenge conventional views of the natural world and humanity’s place within it.
Submission Deadline:
November 10, 2025
“Cold”
A Winter Photography Exhibition
Cold is a force that shapes everything it touches, pressing against the skin, stiffening the air, freezing rivers, and hardening the earth beneath snow and ice. It silences landscapes, and exposes the vulnerability of bodies and structures alike. Through photography, Cold captures the relentlessness of winter, the sharp textures of ice, the beauty of frost, and the contrast of human presence against vast landscapes.
This exhibition seeks images that confront cold in all its forms, also work that interprets cold as metaphor, and its ability to evoke the uncompromising clarity that the season brings.
Submission Deadline:
December 10, 2025
“Our Sky”
A Sky Photography Exhibition
"Our Sky" is a photography exhibition exploring the sky as a constant, shared presence that is at once universal and deeply personal. It is always above us, spanning cities, forests, oceans, and deserts. The sky can be calm or turbulent, bright or muted, vast or intimate; it is never static, yet always present.
Submissions might capture dramatic weather patterns, subtle cloud formations, or unique perspectives that make the familiar unfamiliar. Photographers are invited to submit work that reflects personal vision and creativity. "Our Sky" celebrates the ways in which the sky connects us all.
Submission Deadline:
December 20, 2025
“Asia”
A Photography Exhibition
Photographers from around the world are invited to submit photography that reveals the beauty, diversity and vitality of Asia. Images may capture the textures of city streets and rural landscapes, the rhythms of daily life, the quiet power of rituals, or the pulse of modernity. Photography becomes a language through which personal journeys, cultural heritage, and contemporary realities are expressed.
Work that balances intimate detail with expansive narratives, conveying the spirit of place and the essence of its people, is celebrated.
Submission Deadline:
January 10, 2026
“City Lights”
A Photography Exhibition
At night, urban environments become spaces where movement and interaction coexist in complex, sometimes contradictory ways. Streets, squares, intersections, and public areas take on a different character after dark, where attention is guided as much by light as by human presence.
"City Lights" invites submissions that engage with these conditions with clarity, attention, and intentionality. Work may document streets, architecture, intersections, human activity, or experimental approaches to artificial light. Work may focus on a single city, multiple cities, or comparative studies across locations, as long as it engages with the character and activity of urban environments after dark.
Submission Deadline:
February 20, 2026
