Fleeting Moments - Street Photography

This is an open call for entry for an exhibition at the Athenaeum Gallery running October 19 through November 26, 2023. The show features photographs that capture candid moments, revelatory interpretations, and brilliant reflections of the mundane — work commonly referred to as 'street photography.' The exhibition seeks high aesthetic standards, as well as images that capture a moment, ask a question, or tell a story beyond what is pictured.

Entry fee is $30.00. Submissions must include 1-5 images. The deadline for submissions is Tuesday, August 22, 2023. Winners will be notified on Tuesday, September 12, 2023. Works must be delivered to the gallery on Sunday, October 15 between 4 and 6 p.m. or by prior arrangement. The opening reception is Sunday, October 22, 4-6 p.m. Unsold works may be picked up on Sunday, November 26, between 4 and 6 p.m.

All selected works must be photographs that are framed or finished and wired for hanging with picture hooks. Mass-produced frames are acceptable as long as the print fits the frame properly. Submitters must live or work in Washington, DC, Virginia, or Maryland. There will be a $750 prize awarded for 'best in show' and a $500 prize awarded by popular vote for 'people's choice.'
