PATTERNS IN THE WILD

Whether found in the fractals of a fern, the geometry of city grids, the textures of rust and decay, or the symmetry in animal markings—patterns speak a universal language. They reveal order in chaos, beauty in randomness, and design where we least expect it.

Submission Guidelines:

 

- Open to all photographers over 18, regardless of experience level or location

- The submitted work must be your own, and does not violate any other person's copyright

- Images must be submitted in JPEG format, with a maximum file size of 3MB per image

- Submitted works should be at least 2100 pixels on the longest side

- Your file names MUST be in this format: First Name-Last Name_title.jpg

- A note 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.
