Call for Entry: "Found Objects" - Online Photography Exhibition

 

We are excited to announce an open call for entries for our upcoming online exhibition, “Found Objects”. This exhibition invites photographers to explore the beauty, mystery, and narrative potential of objects found in everyday life. Whether discovered in a natural landscape, on a bustling city street, or tucked away in an overlooked corner, found objects often tell unexpected stories. Through this exhibition, we seek to showcase the creativity of photographers who find art in the ordinary.

From discarded items to organic materials, this exhibition will feature works that emphasize the transformation of forgotten or overlooked objects into compelling visual art. We encourage participants to interpret this theme broadly and present their own unique vision.
