Color + Space
Deadline for submissions: May 12, 2025
Juror: Ann Jastrab
Prints due: Jun 20, 2025
Exhibition: July 3 - July 25, 2025
Color has the power to transform an image—to set a mood, evoke an emotion, or demand attention. In Color + Space, we invite photographers to explore the dynamic relationship between color and the spaces it inhabits. Whether expansive landscapes, intimate interiors, or abstract compositions, this exhibition seeks images where color interacts with space in compelling ways.
From bold, saturated hues that define a scene to subtle tonal shifts that shape atmosphere, color can be the unifying force within a photograph. We encourage submissions that showcase how color not only enhances composition but also influences depth, perspective, and perception. Whether vibrant or restrained, structured or organic, let color guide the viewer’s experience of space.
We are honored to have Ann Jastrab as juror for Color + Space. She will select up to 35 images for exhibition in our Middlebury, Vermont gallery and another 40 images for our Online Gallery. All 75 images will be reproduced in the exhibition catalog and remain permanently on our website, and be promoted on social media with links to photographers’ URL.

The fine art nude has been a celebrated subject of photography since the beginning and played an important role in establishing photography as a fine art medium. Early on, both in history and most photographers experience, the nude has been featured in a classical pose and setting, maturing to illustrating the human body as a sculptural abstraction, and with some pushing boundaries.
Analog and digital manipulation in all its forms welcome. Monochrome or color, all subjects, analog, digital or antique processes, photographers of all skill levels and locations where legal are welcome.
