Nocturne: Photography After Dark
Night is not a backdrop in these photographs. It is where things happen.
A shift runs late, a door is left open, a crowd gathers and drains away, a fire is lit and tended until it burns down.
Open calls
Four calls, four ways to show your work. Read each prospectus for the theme, deadline, and submission details.
Contemporary Horizons
An open-theme photography call welcoming documentary, portraiture, landscape, still life, abstraction, staged photography, and experimental practice.
The Art of Street Photography
A call for photographs that capture the character, moments, and stories of life in public spaces.
The Beauty in Decay
Photographs that find history, tension, or unexpected beauty in weathered objects, surfaces, places, and the natural world.
The Narrative: Stories in a Single Frame
Photographs that suggest a story, whether found in the world or made deliberately for the camera.
We believe money should not prevent strong work from being considered. Submission fees help cover the administrative and promotional costs of running each call. Full and partial fee waivers are available through the TCG Gallery Fee Waiver Application. Apply at least 48 hours before the call closes.
