The submission may include one or two series, provided that the two series are suitable for a joint presentation in a single exhibition. There are no generic, stylistic or thematic constraints; photographers working in all photographic areas and styles are welcome to submit their work.
The winner of this competition will be awarded a solo exhibition from January 14 – February 3, 2021.
PH21 Gallery will cover all printing and installation costs for the solo exhibition. In addition to the brick-and-mortar solo exhibition, the work of the winner will also be presented on a dedicated page of our website. The web page will include the artist statement and the bio of the photographer.
Up to 8 other photographers will be offered the opportunity to present a mini-series of three photographs from their portfolio in the “Photographic Visions” group exhibition.
