Competition Details

Decagon Gallery’s online exhibition, “PLACES AND SPACES,” invites photographers from across the globe to explore the multifaceted relationship between people and their environments. This call welcomes photographic interpretations of the spaces we inhabit, traverse, or even envision, ranging from expansive landscapes to intimate corners, and from vibrant urban settings to secluded solitary spaces. The exhibition aims to illuminate how these places mold our experiences and identities, while also considering how we, through our presence and actions, leave our own imprint on them. All photographic approaches are encouraged, whether documentary or conceptual, focused on urban or rural settings, deeply personal or overtly political, and presented in a literal or abstract style. We encourage you to surprise us with your unique perspective on the theme of places and spaces.
