This fall, we invite you to explore the theme "Calm Before the Storm". We want to see photos that are quiet, yet full of tension. The definition of "storm" is up to you. Is it extreme weather, a high-stakes performance, a protest, a party, or something unknown? We want to revel in the feeling of rest before the action begins.
