“Faces”
A Portrait Photography Exhibition
A face tells a silent story, marked by emotions, age, and experience, enriched by the influence of culture and shaped by personal, private thoughts.
"Faces" asks photographers to present works where the face is not simply seen, but felt, where it becomes a way to witness another person’s presence in the world. The aim isn’t to assign meaning to a face, but to consider how much can be carried in one expression, and how often we search for pieces of ourselves in others.
Submission Deadline:
August 30, 2025
“Dark Frames 2”
A Black and White Photography Exhibition
Following the success of the first edition, "Dark Frames 2" invites photographers to submit black and white work that delves into the subtleties of light, shadow, and form. In monochrome, the absence of colour allows for a purity of expression.
Monochrome photography does not ask for attention; it demands it. It works in the quiet spaces, where every shade carries significance, every highlight is deliberate, and every shadow reveals a part of the story. The challenge is in restraint, in the eloquence that monochrome can deliver.
Submission Deadline:
September 10, 2025
“Home”
A Photography Exhibition
Home is not always a building or a place on a map. It can be a feeling, a routine, a relationship, or a memory. It may be found in familiar objects, everyday moments, or the people who surround us.
This exhibition invites photographers to share their personal views on what home truly means. Submissions may depict home as a physical space or as something less visible and more intangible. Diverse perspectives and styles are warmly welcomed.
The goal is to create a thoughtfully curated collection that reflects the deeply personal ways in which people experience, interpret, and understand the concept of home.
Submission Deadline:
September 20, 2025
“Minimalism”
A Minimalist Photography Exhibition
Submissions are now open for "Minimalism", a photography exhibition dedicated to the art of simplicity, clarity, and refined visual composition.
The exhibition presents photographic work that embraces minimalist principles, whether through the use of negative space, subtle tones, geometric form, or a stripped-back approach to subject and structure.
Images should convey depth and emotion through thoughtful composition, visual restraint, and a heightened sensitivity to space, form, and balance.
Submission Deadline:
October 30, 2025
“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
