“On Film”
A Film/analogue Photography Exhibition
To work on film is to accept time as irreversible and every exposure as a point of no return. Each photograph is an act of commitment made in real time, where seeing cannot be separated from deciding and where uncertainty is carried into the final image.
The resulting photographs hold this finality without revision. They exist as records of moments that cannot be revisited, where what is visible is inseparable from the conditions under which it was seen, and where imperfection becomes part of truth rather than its distortion.
Submission Deadline:
August 15, 2026
“Central & South America”
A Photography Exhibition
Central & South America is presented through photographic works that respond to the region in brief and specific observations. Rather than seeking a complete or definitive overview, the project brings together individual perspectives shaped by encounters across diverse environments, cultures, and conditions.
Together, the selected works create a layered archive where meaning emerges through accumulation rather than narrative.
Submission Deadline:
August 25, 2026
“PEOPLE”
A Photography Exhibition
This is a focus on people as they appear in everyday life, and on the single person within them, without staging or certainty. People are alone or together, close or distant, each one a small world within a larger unfolding of moments that continue beyond the frame. The human presence becomes both individual and collective, central and passing.
Photography gathers these moments as traces rather than conclusions. What remains is not explanation but recognition, the sense of having seen a person or people as they were, even if only for a second, held briefly in light before moving on.
Submission Deadline:
September 10, 2026
“RED”
A Photography Exhibition
Red refuses neutrality. It marks a presence before a subject is understood, pulling the eye, disrupting balance, demanding attention. It exists as warning and desire, violence and tenderness, spectacle and absence. In photography, red can dominate a frame.
This theme invites an exploration of red not simply as a colour, but as a force within the image. Consider its emotional weight, symbolic charge, cultural associations, and visual intensity. Look for red in the ordinary and the unexpected, in landscapes, bodies, objects, architecture, light, and memory.
Submission Deadline:
September 20, 2026
“FLOWERS”
A Photography Exhibition
Fleeting, fragile, and fierce. Floral life carries a language all its own, from the harsh elegance of a single blooming stem to the quiet beauty found in petals fading to dust.
This is a Collection for the raw, the romantic, and the forgotten. High fashion studio setups, wild overgrown fields, deep macro textures, or moody analog decay. Capture the stillness, the light, and the beauty of flowers.
Submission Deadline:
October 10, 2026
“UNTITLED”
A Photography Exhibition
Untitled is an open theme Photography Exhibition inviting artists to submit work without restrictions on subject, style, or approach. The Collection welcomes photography projects that explore personal perspectives, stories, and ideas through a unique visual language.
With no fixed theme, Untitled celebrates the freedom of expression and the many ways photographers interpret the world around them.
Submission Deadline:
October 20, 2026
