Call For Entries
TCG Gallery hosts juried photography exhibitions featuring photographers from around the world. Each exhibition begins with an international call for entry and is selected from hundreds of submissions exploring a wide range of themes, styles, and photographic approaches.
Whether you are an emerging photographer exhibiting for the first time or an established professional continuing your practice, we invite you to submit your strongest work for consideration. Current opportunities are listed below.
The Art of Abandonment
IS STILL DELAYED
Hello everyone,
Juror notifications for The Art of Abandonment are delayed due to a significantly higher-than-expected number of submissions, additional entries arriving through the updated and incredible EntryThingy platform, SmarterEntry, dozens of fee-waiver submissions requiring manual review, and additional entries submitted via email.
We have also encountered a surprisingly large number of submissions with improperly formatted image files. Submission guidelines requested filenames in the format:
hank you for your patience while we work through the backlog. Notifications will be sent as soon as the review process is complete and the exhibition is assembled.
TL;DR: Name your files correctly. Please. Think of the intern. We've already lost two this year. If the exhibition launches a day late, we apologize for the inconvenience.
Call For Entry: The Surreal
Submission Deadline:
June 25th, 2026 11:59 PM
Surrealism is an artistic exploration of the human psyche, dreams, and the unconscious mind. Through bizarre and fantastical scenes, juxtaposition, or symbolism, we challenge you to capture and present images that defy logic and question the boundary of perception. Invite us to a realm where the conscious and unconscious blur and reality transform into the surreal. The Surreal is an international open call for photographers ages 18 and older. All images, traditional and non-conventional media, and conventional or alternative photographic processes with an analog or digital photographic base are welcome for submission.

Call For Entry: Memory: What Remains
Submission Deadline:
July 25th, 2026 11:59 PM
Photography has always occupied a unique position between documentation and remembrance. It preserves fragments of experience, records histories, and captures moments that might otherwise disappear. Yet memory is rarely fixed. It shifts, fades, distorts, resurfaces, and evolves over time. What remains is often incomplete: a photograph, a place, an object, a gesture, a face, or a feeling that persists long after the original moment has passed.
We welcome photographs that examine the traces people leave behind and the ways in which the past continues to shape the present. Memory may be found in family archives, abandoned places, domestic interiors, personal artifacts, landscapes, portraits, traditions, rituals, communities, or the quiet evidence of lives once lived. We are equally interested in photographs that explore absence, nostalgia, loss, inheritance, identity, belonging, and the passage of time.
Memory does not have to be represented literally. We encourage submissions that approach the theme through documentary, fine art, conceptual, experimental, and alternative photographic practices. The strongest work often exists in the space between remembering and forgetting.
