Decagon Gallery: OVERCOMING — What remains standing
Things break. People struggle. Places change. And yet — something endures. Overcoming — What Remains Standing invites photographers to submit work about survival, resilience, and what's left after hardship. We're looking for images that show what it means to get through something — whether that's personal loss, illness, grief, displacement, or simply the passage of difficult time. There's no single right approach: your work can be documentary or staged, abstract or portrait, raw or quiet. What matters is that it's honest. Juror: Douglas Beasley $1,000 in total cash awards, plus a solo exhibition feature for First Place. Entry Fee: $25 for up to 4 images, $5 each additional image.
