Compete PH21 @ Barcelona – A.I.: Celebrating Photographic Diversity
Opportunity Description
International Deadline: October 21, 2024 – PH21 Gallery invites photographers to submit their work for a group exhibition themed From Heliography to AI: Celebrating Photographic Diversity.
We are seeking submissions from all photographers who are interested in photographic genre and style traditions and would like to share their work with a wider international audience through the exposure of PH21 Gallery. This exhibition is designed to celebrate photographic diversity.
VENUE
Please note that this PH21 Gallery exhibition will be presented in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, in collaboration with Valid World Hall Gallery, a renowned centre for the visual arts.
In the spacious Valid World Hall Gallery in Barcelona, we intend to devote separate sections to 19th-century alternative processes, straight photography (including traditional landscapes, cityscapes, portraiture, etc.), photographs capturing the “decisive moment” (including street photography and other images capturing fleeting moments in any captivating situation), staged photography (including both conceptually driven staged art photography as well as still life, and other staged genres), and experimental photography (including photomontages, double exposures, lomography, photographic glitch art, AI-generated photo-based images, abstract photography, etc.). In your submission, please indicate the section you think your work fits best or let us know if it belongs to another category.
Exhibition dates: December 9–19, 2024.
ELIGIBILITY
All photographers 18 years or older worldwide may enter the competition by submitting their own, original work. The theme is broadly defined; we welcome submissions from all photographic genres and styles, including abstract compositions. We are interested in all possible creative interpretations of photographic genres and styles.
