PHOTOPLACE GALLERY - WATER: ELEMENT OF CHANGE

WATER: ELEMENT OF CHANGE. Submission Deadline March 9th, 2026. Exhibition: May 1-30th, 2026. Opening Reception: May 1st, 2026 from 4-7pm. Call for Entries: Water is a powerful and ever-present element, shaping landscapes, reflecting light, and carrying movement, memory, and emotion. It appears in countless forms—from oceans, rivers, and rain to ice, fog, reflections, and more abstract expressions. For this exhibition, we invite photographers to submit work that explores water in all its variations. Submissions may be literal or interpretive, representational or abstract, quiet or dynamic. All photographic approaches are welcome, including landscape, documentary, conceptual, and experimental work. We are honored to have Lee Anne White as juror for Water: Element of Change. She will select up to 35 images for exhibition in our Middlebury, Vermont gallery and another 40 images for our Online Gallery. All 75 images will be reproduced in the exhibition catalog and remain permanently on our website, and be promoted on social media with links to photographer’s URL. Awards: up to $300. All selected photographers will have work published in printed catalog available for purchase and be featured on our website and social media. Submission Fee: $39 for 5 images, $6 for each additional image.
