2024 OPEN THEME | CALL FOR ENTRIES | AN INTERNATIONAL JURIED PHOTO EXHIBITION
The Praxis Gallery is seeking photographic art of any genre and subject matter that represents the artist’s endeavor to reveal a personal declaration of visual significance, whether it be a celebration of pure aesthetic formalism, humor or conflict, fiction or fact, or any other literal or ephemeral manifestation. All genres, capture types, black & white and color, traditional and non-traditional photographic and digital post-production processes are welcome for submission.
Theme: Open Theme || Juror: Elizabeth Flinsch
“Photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting… It has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.”
–Elliott Erwitt
