Call for Entries: Parenthood

Deadline for submissions: Jan 16, 2023

Juror: Rebecca Senf

Exhibition: March 2 - March 24, 2023

Parenthood is a constantly changing state of being as a child grows older and life becomes more complex. Along the way are moments of bafflement, intense love, rage, hurt – every imaginable state of mind in both parent and child. We seek images of those moments for Parenthood.

We are very pleased that Rebecca Senf will jury and curate this exhibition. She will select approximately 35 images for exhibition in the gallery, and up to 40 for our Online Gallery. All 75 selected images will be promoted on social media, reproduced in the exhibition print catalog, and remain permanently on our website, with links to photographer’s URL. 

LANDSCAPES | CALL FOR ENTRIES | AN INTERNATIONAL JURIED PHOTO EXHIBITION 

Entry Deadline | Dec 31ST, 2022 

Notice of Acceptance | Jan 12TH, 2023 

Exhibition Dates | Feb 18TH – Mar 4TH, 2023 

Theme: Landscapes | Juror: Douglas Beasley 

 
“Landscape photography shows spaces within the world, sometimes vast and unending, but other times microscopic. Landscape photographs typically capture the presence of nature but can also focus on man-made features or disturbances of landscapes. Many landscape photographs show little or no human activity and are created in the pursuit of a pure, unsullied depiction of nature, devoid of human influence—instead featuring subjects such as strongly defined landforms, weather, ambient light and other sublime elements. Beyond purely aesthetic considerations, landscapes often contain intensely personal and emotional subjectivities; evidence of secret histories of fondness, love, and nurturing - or of past emotional turbulence, loss, longing, and regret. 

Praxis Gallery seeks photographic artwork that explores a broad, interpretive, and personal investigation of the landscape - both as a place, or an idea - as a literal expression or conceptual iteration. All genres, capture types, black & white and color, traditional and non-traditional photographic and digital post-production processes are welcome for submission.​​​ 

JUROR | DOUGLAS BEASLEY 

Douglas Beasley’s personal vision explores the spiritual aspects of people and place and is concerned with how the sacred is recognized and expressed in everyday life. He has a BFA from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor and has had several books of his photography published worldwide. 

As founder and director of Vision Quest Photo Workshops, Doug provides workshops around the world that emphasize personal expression and creative vision over the mechanics of camera use. He believes in helping each student find their own voice rather than making anonymous ‘pretty pictures’. Doug is also the owner and publisher of SHOTS Magazine, a printed quarterly of eclectic fine-art photography from reader submissions on a theme.
