Abandoned
Territory: Worldwide
Theme: Abandoned
Eligibility: Open to all
Entry Fees: $20
Prize: Exhibition
Abandoned is an exhibition exploring abandoned and rediscovered objects, spaces, and structures. A popular genre in the photographic world is the trend of urban exploration ("urbex") — the exploration of abandoned or forgotten places to document the narrative of those who lived or worked there. Through the captured image, we can glimpse the ephemeral nature and memory of ourselves and our surroundings and preserve them before being lost to time and place. What do these structures and objects convey about society as we leave them to decay? What is the essence of time and place, and what-or whom-are we abandoning?

Abandoned is an international juried group exhibition open to photographers ages 18 years and older. All black and white, color, conventional, non-traditional photographic, and digital post-production processes are welcome for submission. Entries are accepted through our website’s submission form below, Entrythingy, or SmarterEntry.

Bauman’s vision has allowed us to see the world we live in as an interconnected fabric, as the same technologies that we use daily determine our existence in the world, where space and time are less and less experienced as an obstacle, and where someone’s actions in a certain place can have immediate repercussions in another place. Every discovery, invention or crea
