Close on September 15, 2024

Territory: Worldwide

Theme: Memento Mori

Eligibility: Open to all

Entry Fees: $20

Prize: Exhibition

Memento Mori is a profound and evocative theme in photography, focusing on the transient nature of life and the inevitability of death. This concept, rooted in the Latin phrase meaning "remember that you must die," encourages a deep reflection on mortality and the passage of time. Memento mori can be a powerful reminder of the fleeting nature of our existence, a source of comfort and inspiration, and that we should make the most of our remaining time on this mortal coil. Show us, what makes life worth living, and how does one cope with the certainty of death? Memento Mori is an international open call for photographers ages 18 and older. All forms of two-dimensional images, traditional and non-conventional media, and conventional or alternative processes with a subjective analog or digital photographic base are welcome for submission.

Exhibition: October 1st, 2024 - November 1st, 2024
