Internet The Room Next Door: Photography Open Call, $1,000 in Cash Awards
Opportunity Description
International Deadline: December 15, 2026 – Decagon Gallery, a Brooklyn-based online gallery for contemporary photography, invites photographers worldwide to submit work for THE ROOM NEXT DOOR, a juried online exhibition.
We are looking for photographs that bring us to the edge of a space we cannot enter, where something is felt more than shown and the viewer is left to imagine what lies beyond. Thresholds, doorways, windows, reflections, interiors seen from outside, exteriors seen from within, distant glimpses of neighboring lives, and staged or constructed work are all welcome, as are documentary, conceptual, and experimental approaches. People may appear, but the subject is the space between here and there.
All selected artists receive an online exhibition at Decagon Gallery (January 10 – March 10, 2027)
ELIGIBILITY
Open to photographers worldwide, all levels of experience, all photographic processes and styles. Photographers retain all rights, including copyright.
JUROR
Dr. Susan Bright, curator, art historian, and writer who has curated exhibitions at Tate Britain, the National Portrait Gallery (London), and Princeton University Art Museum.
AWARDS
($1,000 in cash): 1st Place $500, 2nd Place $250, 3rd Place $150, two Honorable Mentions $50 each, plus the Human Presence Award (free entry to a future Decagon exhibition).
All selected artists receive an online exhibition at Decagon Gallery (January 10 – March 10, 2027), publication in a professionally designed exhibition catalog, and digital badges and certificates.
ENTRY FEE
$25 for up to 4 images; $5 for each additional image.
