“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 20, 2026
“City Lights”
A Night 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
“Women”
A Women Photography Exhibition
The condition of being a woman is always situated, contingent, and relational. Everyday actions, public gestures, and private moments exist simultaneously as material realities and symbolic constructs. Photography can trace these tensions and illuminate their significance.
"Women" seeks work that interrogates the complexity of these conditions. Submissions may document spaces, behaviours, or social interactions. Work may engage with temporality, repetition, or transformation. All approaches are welcome provided they prioritise critical insight, and conceptual engagement with the lives of women.
Submission Deadline:
March 10, 2026
“Shadows”
A Photography Exhibition
We live in a world of light, but it is the shadows that define how we see it. Light and dark are not opposites in isolation but exist in continual tension, producing contrast and structuring experience. Shadow delineates the limits of illumination, reminding us that perception is contingent rather than absolute.
Beyond the physical realm, shadow carries moral and philosophical weight. This open call invites photographic works where shadow conveys conceptual depth.
Submission Deadline:
March 20, 2026
“Darm Frames III”
A Black & White Photography Exhibition
Dark Frames III is a continuation and transformation of the ongoing inquiry into monochrome photography. This edition embraces images that dwell in subtlety and depth, that linger in the quiet spaces between revelation and concealment. Minimalist compositions and complex arrangements hold equal value, provided they engage with the essential grammar of black and white. It is a space to contribute to a dialogue in which every image asserts itself.
Submission Deadline:
April 10, 2026
