“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.

“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
“Flora”
A Nature Photography Exhibition
Flora explores the quiet intensity of plant life through photography. From delicate details to expansive growth, the exhibition centres on the presence, resilience, and beauty of the natural world as seen through flora. The project welcomes diverse photographic approaches; documentary, conceptual, experimental, and poetic, that engage with plants, vegetation, and botanical forms in their natural or altered environments. Works may reflect ecology, intimacy, memory, or the subtle dialogue between humans and the green world that surrounds us.
Submission Deadline:
April 20, 2026
“Europe”
A Photography Exhibition
Europe presents a continuous negotiation between tradition and innovation, memory and experimentation, particularity and universality. Its archives, works of art, and built environments testify to centuries of intellectual endeavour, cross-cultural exchange, and social inquiry. This collection seeks to trace these continuities and disruptions, highlighting the networks of ideas and practices that underpin European history.
In doing so, it encourages a sustained engagement with questions of belonging and interrelation, allowing visitors to perceive Europe as a complex web of human action, thought, and reflection too.
Submission Deadline:
