PhotoPlace Gallery invites photographers worldwide to submit work for Open Call: A Celebration of Contemporary Photography, a juried exhibition honoring the creativity, diversity, and evolving practice of photography today.
Presented in celebration of World Photography Day (August 19th), this exhibition is one of PhotoPlace Gallery's most open and inclusive calls of the year, welcoming all photographic subjects, styles, and processes. From landscape, portraiture, and documentary to conceptual, experimental, and alternative practices, photographers are encouraged to submit their strongest work.
Whether your work is traditional or experimental, personal or universal, this exhibition is an opportunity to showcase where your photography is today.
We are honored to have Paula Tognarelli and Gallery Director Zach Hoffman as jurors for OPEN CALL: A Celebration of Contemporary Photography. They will select up to 35 images for exhibition in our Middlebury, Vermont gallery and another 40 images for our Online Gallery. All 75 images will be reproduced in the exhibition catalog and remain permanently on our website and are promoted on social media with links to photographers' URLs.
