PH21 Gallery: Call for Entries: Mobile Only

Contests, Juried Art Shows - Photography Photo Gallery

A juried international photography exhibition. July 6 – August 1, 2017. Exploring the possibilities of the different technological means of creating photographic images has always been a challenging aspect of the ever-evolving practices of the medium. This not only pertains to traditional devices such as pinhole cameras, but also to new technological advances like mobile photography. Some consider smartphones with their built-in cameras, apps and special effects to have brought us about a revolution in photography on a par with the industry-changing 1888 Kodak camera and its 1897 successor, the folding pocket Kodak camera. Ever since the end of the 19th century there have always been voices that decried the mass production of images inherent in new technological developments; this, however, has never stopped photographers from exploring the creative possibilities offered by the new devices. It is mobile photography now that has become the ground for such experimentation and recognition. We would like to contribute to this development by offering a platform for photographers to show how they make use of the creative potential in mobile photography. PH21 Gallery invites photographers to submit their work for a group exhibition themed Mobile Only. We are looking for submissions from all photographers who are interested in this practice and would like to share their work with a wider international audience through the exposure of PH21 Gallery. The theme is broadly construed; the only constraint is that the images submitted must have been captured by mobile photographic devices (mobile phones or tablets).

NYC4PA GLASS 2017 International Call for Entry

Calls for Submissions - Photography Art Organization

Is the GLASS half full or half empty? People in GLASS houses shouldn’t throw stones.We work on shattering the GLASS Ceiling. The ice is as smooth as GLASS.What is so magical about this substance, made from sand, that it comes up in so many proverbs and sayings? It is magical – the invention of glass allowed us, for the first time, to be able to observe things while having a barrier to keep us warm, safe, and dry. We can store liquids safely and know how much is left in the bottle. GLASS is not only a practical solution to so many situations, but also the foundation for an entire area of art, think of Dale Chihuly. Whether you create wonderful images about drinking glasses, eye glasses, wavy window panes or glass beads, Murano glass or beach glass, it all works.

Third International Juried Exhibition "SHOW YOUR WORLD"

Contests, Juried Art Shows - Acrylic, Ceramics, Digital Media, Fiber, Graphic Design, Drawing/Illustration, Mixed media, Oil, Pastel, Photography, Watercolor Art Organization

All entries are accepted. Exhibit your art in New York! This is our Third International Juried Exhibition - artists from more than 40 countries have already participated in the shows. "One must accept the fact that others don’t see what you do." - Louise Bourgeois. Art is a non-verbal language understood by people speaking different mother tongues. It conveys both historical and social facts, lifestyle, inspiration, and feelings. We’ve been creating a dialogue among artists from various cities and countries, because – as one and only Louise Bourgeois said – "An artist can show things that other people are terrified of expressing". Twenty Finalists will display original work at the “Show Your World” exhibition in New York City in Fall 2017, Gallery MC. The work of other participants will be exhibited digitally on a big gallery wall. The winner will receive a paid accommodation in New York City for the Opening event (two nights). The finalists will have an opportunity to give an artist talk, be interviewed and/or featured on the RE:ARTISTE's website and social media networks. Please visit our website for more information.

Kompetes has created a space for artists to take part in competitions in art, photography, music, film and fashion. By simply downloading the app, artists and art appreciators are exposed to the work of their peers and given the opportunity to submit their own work, vote for others or do both! The rules are purposefully kept to a minimum to give the artist as much freedom of expression as possible. Compete for prizes varying from cash, editorial features and exposure; to tools and gadgets to support their craft.New competitions are rolled out every month.
