Compete Black and White
Opportunity Description
International Deadline: November 20, 2026 – Black Eyes Gallery invites photographers worldwide to submit to our open photography call for Black and White.
Black and white is more than just the absence of color, it is an opportunity to explore form, texture, light, and shadow is a whole new way.

The exhibition runs 12/5 – 12/26 at Black Eyes Gallery, 485 S. Stone Avenue, Tucson, with an opening reception on 12/5 from 5-8 p.m.
ELIGIBILITY

- 25 images will be selected for Conservation and will be printed, professionally matted, and framed for exhibition from 12/5 – 12/26
- Images will be included in a permanent Online archive of Black Eyes Gallery exhibitions, with the artist’s name, image title, and social link.
