FLASH #22
Call for Entry: Humorous Images
Laughter is universal, and in photography, a well-timed moment, an unexpected juxtaposition, or a clever visual pun can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. For our newest online exhibition, Humorous Images, we invite photographers to submit works that capture the joy, wit, and absurdity of life.
From spontaneous street photography to meticulously staged scenes, from ironic contrasts to playful compositions—humor in photography comes in many forms. We welcome entries that surprise, delight, and bring a smile (or even a laugh) to the viewer. Whether your humor is subtle or bold, clever or quirky, we want to see it!
All selected photographers will receive digital exhibition badges, and the show will be featured in our online gallery.
Submit your funniest, most creative images and share your unique sense of humor with the world!

A note on AI — Artificial Intelligence:
As more image processing software incorporates AI techniques, we find it necessary to clarify our position on this. If a substantial portion of the image is created using Artificial Intelligence, it will not be considered for the exhibition. On the other hand, if AI is used simply to erase an object in the background or to extend the borders of an image, we would be able to accept it for consideration. The ultimate decision would be made by the exhibition juror as well as the gallery, and the decision to include or exclude an image will be final. We suggest that you should make a judgment as to whether your images appear to be substantial products of AI, and if they do please do not submit them.
