Decagon Gallery - Sanctuary Online Photography Open Call

Decagon Gallery invites photographers from around the world to submit images for Sanctuary, an online exhibition exploring the spaces, places, and moments that offer us refuge, peace, and renewal. What does sanctuary mean to you? It might be a quiet corner of your home, a place of worship, a stretch of untouched landscape, a gathering of loved ones, or even an inner state of calm. Sanctuary can be physical or emotional, private or communal, fleeting or eternal. We welcome all photographic interpretations that reflect the essence of finding shelter, comfort, and belonging in a turbulent world. -------------------------- All selected photographers will receive a digital award badge. Selected work will be published in a printed exhibition catalog available for purchase. A short video presentation will be created and shared on our YouTube channel and the gallery website and social media.
