Call Description

The Robert Anderson Gallery is excited to announce its second International Small Works Photography Competition and Exhibition, a juried competition celebrating the intimacy of small (longest dimension including frame of 15 inches) photographic images.

Wendi Schneider is an award-winning photographer represented by several nationally prominent galleries who is a sought-after photography jurist. Ron Landucci is a master printer with world-wide individual artist and organizational clienteles as well as an accomplished fine art photographer.  

Awards • One $500 Best in Show Award selected by the jurors • Two $200 Merit Awards, one selected by each juror • One $200 Merit Award selected by Gallery

All selected works will be exhibited in the Robert Anderson Gallery from October 2 through December 22, 2026 and permanently on the Gallery’s website.
