For FROZEN, we seek photography that captures the distilled essence of winter—its clean lines, soft textures, and silent spaces. Think snow-covered hills at dawn, delicate frost crystals, breath turning to mist, frozen rivers, or the quiet geometry of ice.

Whether stark and minimal or rich with detail, we welcome work that celebrates winter’s ability to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. All photographic approaches are encouraged—black and white, color, traditional, experimental, and everything in between.

We look forward to seeing how you capture the frozen world.

Monochrome: Light, Shadow, Form, and Texture

Deadline for submissions: Sep 8, 2025

Juror: Jason Landry

Prints due: Oct 24, 2025

Exhibition: November 7 - November 28, 2025

In a world saturated with color, there is something timeless and powerful about the monochrome image. Stripped to its essentials—light, shadow, form, and texture—black-and-white photography invites us to see differently. It distills the world into tone and emotion, allowing mood and meaning to rise to the surface.

For this juried exhibition, we seek photographs that celebrate the monochrome palette in all its forms—from deep blacks to silvery grays, soft sepias to high-key whites. Whether analog or digital, documentary or abstract, we welcome images that embrace the expressive range of monochrome photography.

All photographic styles and processes are welcome.

Travel expands our sense of the world—and ourselves. It introduces us to new faces, unfamiliar landscapes, and the small details that define a place. Travel: People, Places, Things invites photographers to share images that reflect the essence of movement, exploration, and cultural curiosity.

From sweeping vistas to quiet portraits, from market stalls to roadside relics, we are looking for photographs that convey the spirit of travel in all its forms. Whether taken across the globe or closer to home, we welcome images that reveal the stories, beauty, and surprises found along the way.

We are honored to have Laura Moya as juror for Travel: People, Places, Things. She will select up to 35 images in our Middlebury, Vermont Exhibition 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.

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.

Prints due: Feb 21, 2025

We are honored to have Jeff Curto as juror for Portraiture: Unveiling Identity. He will select up to 35 images for exhibition in our Middlebury, Vermont gallery and another 40 images for our Online Gallery.

Poetry of the Ordinary

Deadline for submissions: Oct 14, 2024

Juror: Blue Mitchell

Prints due: Nov 22, 2024

Exhibition: December 6 - December 27, 2024

 

The world is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.
– W.B. Yeats

In our rush through life, we often overlook the extraordinary that lies within the ordinary — the beauty, poignancy, and simple poetic elegance so commonly found in ordinary moments: Random objects that appear in perfect symmetry. Human moments that define our humanity. Light that falls elegantly on a subject to perfectly describe it. With your work and your eye, show us the extraordinary beauty that lies all around us in ordinary moments.

All captures and processes are welcome.

We are very pleased that Blue Mitchell will be jurying and curating this exhibition. He will select approximately 35 images for the Exhibition Gallery, and 40 more for our Online Gallery. All 75 images will be featured on social media, displayed in the exhibit catalog, and remain permanently on our website with photographer's URL.
