For FILLING THE FRAME, we invite photographers to celebrate more: layered compositions, intersecting subjects, overlapping lines, patterns, and textures that fill the space with intention. Think of street scenes bursting with energy, crowded markets, tangled forests, intricate still lifes, or abstractions that challenge our sense of visual harmony.

 

Frozen: Cold, Quiet, Pure

For FROZEN, we seek photography that captures the distilled essence of winter—its clean lines, soft textures, and silent spaces. Think snow-covered hills at dawn, delicate frost crystals, breath turning to mist, frozen rivers, or the quiet geometry of ice.

Whether stark and minimal or rich with detail, we welcome work that celebrates winter’s ability to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. All photographic approaches are encouraged—black and white, color, traditional, experimental, and everything in between.

We look forward to seeing how you capture the frozen world.

Monochrome

Deadline for submissions: Sep 8, 2025

Juror: Jason Landry

Prints due: Oct 24, 2025

Exhibition: November 7 - November 28, 2025

In a world saturated with color, there is something timeless and powerful about the monochrome image. Stripped to its essentials—light, shadow, form, and texture—black-and-white photography invites us to see differently. It distills the world into tone and emotion, allowing mood and meaning to rise to the surface.

Trees mark time. From spring’s first buds to autumn’s final blaze, they quietly witness the turning of the seasons—enduring, transforming, and echoing nature’s rhythms.

This juried exhibition invites photographs that explore the relationship between trees and seasonal change. From the stark beauty of winter branches to the lush greens of summer and the fleeting colors of fall, we welcome images that capture the power, poetry, and presence of trees throughout the year.

Color has the power to transform an image—to set a mood, evoke an emotion, or demand attention.

Whether expansive landscapes, intimate interiors, or abstract compositions, this exhibition seeks images where color interacts with space in compelling ways.
