Quiet Landscape: Beauty, Stillness, and Connection

PhotoPlace Gallery   /   Deadline: 09/07/26

Download in PDF Format

Quiet Landscape invites photographers to explore the beauty, stillness, and connection found in the landscape. From sweeping vistas to intimate natural details, remote wilderness to cultivated spaces, we welcome a broad interpretation of the theme through traditional, documentary, conceptual, and fine art photography.
We seek photographs that reveal a sense of place, atmosphere, light, and presence—images that encourage reflection and invite viewers to slow down and look more closely at the world around them.
Juror Kat Kiernan will select up to 35 photographs for exhibition at PhotoPlace Gallery in Middlebury, Vermont, along with approximately 40 additional works for our Online Gallery. All selected photographs will be reproduced in the exhibition catalog, featured permanently on our website, and promoted through PhotoPlace Gallery's publications and social media.
