INTERIORS

Call for Entry: "Interiors" – Online Photography Exhibition

$1,000 in cash prizes

​

We are excited to announce a new online exhibition for photographers, titled INTERIORS - Spaces that define our lives. This exhibition invites you to showcase your unique perspective on the private and public spaces that define our everyday lives. Whether it’s the intimate corners of a home, the bustling energy of a public space, or the solitude of an abandoned room, we’re looking for work that captures the essence of interior spaces.

Show us your unique vision—whether through experimental techniques, intentional distortions, or capturing the unseen details of the everyday.

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.

 

We look forward to seeing how you interpret the theme of "Interiors - Spaces that define our lives". Submit your best work and be part of this exciting online exhibition!  Scroll down to enter.
