Compete Portals: New Perspectives
Opportunity Description
International Deadline: April 6, 2026 – For Portals: New Perspectives, PhotoPlace Gallery invites photographs that explore openings, thresholds, and points of transition. Windows, doorways, mirrors, gates, archways, reflections, and frames within frames may serve as literal portals, while shifts in light, shadow, or perspective can transform familiar spaces into something unexpected.
We also welcome more interpretive approaches. A portal might represent change, movement, memory, or emotional transition. Whether urban or rural, interior or exterior, documentary or conceptual, show us how photography opens new ways of seeing.
EXHIBITION VENUES
Up to 35 images for exhibition in our Middlebury, Vermont gallery and another 40 images for our Online Gallery, June 5 – June 27, 2026. All 75 images will be reproduced in the exhibition catalog and remain permanently on our website, and be promoted on social media with links to photographer’s URL.
ELIGIBILITY
Open to photographers worldwide. All genres, capture methods, editing processes, and printing styles are welcome.
