Of the World: Shaped by Light, Place, and Time

The American Society of Photographers (ASP) invites members to submit artwork for consideration in Of the World: Shaped by Light, Place, and Time, a traveling exhibition scheduled for 2028. Selected by an independent jury of curators and artists, this exhibition will showcase contemporary photographic artwork representing a wide range of creative approaches, presentation methods, and subject matter. The resulting collection will offer audiences a look at the exceptional work being created by ASP artists and the diverse methods used to achieve the final artwork. Selected works may also be included in educational programming and promotional materials associated with the Exhibition Collection.

Entrants must be current ASP members in good standing at the time of entry and throughout the exhibition period. All ASP membership categories are eligible, including First Time Degree Holders. Artists may submit up to 10 images in .jpg format with a maximum of 4,000 pixels on the longest side. File naming format: Last Name First Name_Title.jpg. Submitted images may not contain visible signatures, watermarks, logos, initials, or other identifying marks. Artwork exhibited in person in a previous ASP Exhibition Collection may not be submitted.

Call opens June 1, 2026 at 9:00 AM Eastern Time and closes August 1, 2026 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time. Late entries cannot be accepted. Selected artists will be notified in September 2026. Entry fees must be paid at the time of submission. Accepted artists contribute $100 per accepted artwork to support handling, packing, storage, transportation, and exhibition logistics. Accepted artists are also responsible for printing and presentation costs, shipping artwork to the first exhibition location, return shipping from the final exhibition location, and insurance coverage during the exhibition period. Artwork may be offered for sale at participating venues with commissions that may be as high as 50%. Accepted artists will receive points towards their ASP Photographic Artistry Degree for each exhibited artwork.
