Decagon Gallery’s Planet Earth open call invites photographers to explore the extraordinary diversity of life and land on our planet, from vast deserts and dense rainforests to bustling city streets and remote mountain villages. This exhibition seeks work that reveals the beauty, complexity, and vulnerability of the world we inhabit, capturing both its natural wonders and compelling human narratives. We are looking for images that evoke awe and admiration, document fragile ecosystems or resilient communities, and capture quiet moments of coexistence or urgent stories of change. Whether through sweeping landscapes, intimate portraits, or abstract interpretations, this is an opportunity to reflect on what it means to live on Earth during a time of significant environmental and cultural transformation.
We encourage a broad interpretation of the theme, with submissions that can include natural landscapes, wildlife, environmental impacts, Indigenous cultures, urban life, and stories related to climate change, conservation, and sustainability. As we confront unprecedented challenges, Planet Earth serves as a platform to honor the interconnectedness of all life and the urgency of preservation. This exhibition aims to inspire viewers to look closer, feel deeper, and consider their own place within the greater web of life
