Organization: Decagon Gallery Location Online Entry Fee Paid Entry Deadline October 10, 2026 Exhibition Nov 1 - Jan 1, 2027
For THE SHAPE OF A LIFE we are looking for photographs that show how a person lives and what their life feels like from within. This may be someone sitting at a kitchen table, resting in a small room, working, waiting, or moving through an ordinary day. It may be a home filled with personal belongings, a familiar street, signs of a daily ritual, or a place carrying years of use.

We welcome photographs of people, interiors, domestic spaces, everyday routines, personal objects, family environments, places of work or rest, and signs of presence or absence. Documentary, fine art, conceptual, and personal approaches are all welcome.

Juror: J. Sybylla Smith
