The Abstract Image

Close on December 15, 2024

Territory: Worldwide

Theme: The Abstract Image

Eligibility: All entrants must be 18 years of age or older

Entry Fees: $35.00

Prize: Exhibition

An abstract photograph draws away from that which is realistic or literal. It draws away from natural appearances and recognizable subjects in the actual world. Some people even say it departs from true meaning, existence, and reality itself. It stands apart from the concrete whole with its purpose instead depending on conceptual meaning and intrinsic form.' John Suler

Praxis Gallery seeks the submission of photographic works that explore the world through an abstracted lens; utilizing elements of color, light, shadow, texture, shape and line to express meaning outside of traditional representational and documentary styles of photography. All genres, capture types, black & white and color, traditional and non-traditional photographic and digital post-production processes are welcome for submission.

Juror: ROSS ANDERSON

ACCEPTANCE: AWARDS
Up to seventy-four images will be selected by the juror for exhibition at Praxis Gallery. A Juror’s Choice, three Honorable Mentions, and a Directors Choice will be awarded and featured in the exhibition, the printed show catalog, and the online exhibit gallery. Juror’s Choice will receive free entry into three juried calls for entry of their choice and a complimentary exhibit book. Directors Choice will receive free entry into two juried calls for entry of their choice.

Wintertime

When temperatures drop and our outdoor surroundings become more silent, still and dormant we look to our interior spaces to find warmth and comfort. The leaves fall and the ground becomes frost covered, birds search for berries in the branches, the earth takes a rest. Photographing this winter splendor is for the adventurous at heart and the wonder of it all is worth facing the cold to get those great shots.
