Submit your photographs to these calls
Welcome to our Open Call page—your gateway to exciting photography exhibition opportunities. We invite emerging and established photographers to submit their work for consideration in our upcoming online exhibitions. Each open call is carefully curated and offers the chance to gain international exposure, receive juror recognition, and be featured in our gallery's online showcase, video presentations, and exhibition catalogs. Whether you're interested in fine art photography, conceptual work, portraiture, or documentary styles, our open calls provide a platform to share your creative vision. Explore current photography open calls below and submit your best work today.
New: the fee for a single entry is only $5
* A single entry means only one photograph is being submitted
At Decagon Gallery, we keep our entry fees as low as possible while ensuring that each exhibition is thoughtfully curated and professionally presented. These modest fees help cover essential costs such as juror honoraria, cash prizes for award recipients, online promotion, website maintenance, digital catalog production, and administrative expenses that allow us to operate independently and provide ongoing opportunities for photographers worldwide. Every submission directly supports our mission to create accessible, high-quality exhibitions that celebrate diverse artistic voices.

Our Policy on AI — Artificial Intelligence
As more image processing software incorporates AI techniques, we find it necessary to clarify our position on this. If a substantial portion of the image is created using Artificial Intelligence, it will not be considered for the exhibition. On the other hand, if AI is used simply to erase an object in the background or to extend the borders of an image, we would be able to accept it for consideration. The ultimate decision would be made by the exhibition juror as well as the gallery, and the decision to include or exclude an image will be final. We suggest that you should make a judgment as to whether your images appear to be substantial produces of AI, and if they do please do not submit them.
