The Chateau Gallery   /   Deadline: 03/20/26

Download in PDF Format

A narrative can tell stories about a wide range of subjects, recount tales from religion, myth, legend, history, and literature, or examine existential questions, such as the meaning of life, death, and the nature of reality. A well-crafted narrative can transport us to another time and place, entertain, educate, and inspire or help us to view the world in a new way, reminding us of our shared humanity and the beauty of the world around us. Tell us, what's your story? The Narrative is an international open call for photographers ages strictly 18 and older. ​​​​​​​All forms of two-dimensional images, traditional and non-conventional media, and conventional or alternative photographic processes with a subjective analog or digital photographic base are welcome for submission.

Selection for exhibition

Considerations

The Curator, Director, and Juror(s) will select approximately 35 images for exhibition in The Chateau's Online Gallery (TCG). TCG's management system (CRM) creates an entrant profile and categorizes submissions into themes upon successful submission. You will receive a confirmation email upon receipt of a successful submission. Submissions will be stored in the CRM "digital flat file" for one year for consideration in the current and future exhibitions.

Jurors for TCG are a rotating assortment of past exhibitors, curators, editors, and members of various fields in the arts and culture sector. We believe in a "blind" jury process in which the juror is unaware of the photographer's identity. The selection process is based solely on the image and its title. Providing an image description is optional but is highly encouraged. TCG will notify entrants by email of the juror's selections.
