Photo Artfolio invites photographers worldwide to submit work to our online juried exhibit, Beauty Illuminated.

THEME:

We invite photographers to submit work that explores the theme of beauty in all its forms. Beauty is a complex, subjective and multi-faceted concept that can be interpreted in many different ways. We encourage photographers to capture their unique perspective on beauty through abstract, conceptual, narrative, or portrait photography. We're interested in seeing work that goes beyond the traditional and explores beauty in a way that surprises and excites us. Whether it's the beauty of nature, the beauty of the human form, or the beauty of the mundane, we’re interested in seeing photography that illuminates the extraordinary in the ordinary. This call is open to all forms and categories of photography with the exception of AI-generated work.
