Call for entries for an International Photography Exhibition. This month-long exhibition will be a photography exhibition with the theme of Surreal and Photo Manipulation. Free to submit, open to everyone.

The Glasgow Gallery of Photography's mission is to advance the arts, heritage and cultural sector through exhibitions of photographic works as a means for artistic, community and personal expression.

The Glasgow Gallery of Photography is running a month-long exhibition in August called Surreal. Unreal, fantastical or even dream-like, the surreal image can give photographers even greater creative freedom and engage the audience in a new way.

For this exhibition we want to see your images that really explore the Surreal in photography and photo manipulation really is welcome for this exhibition.

Whether you are inspired by the works of Man Ray, Lee Miller and Augus McBean or more modern photographers using digital manipulation, we want to see your take on the theme of Surreal.

Surreal is an open call for photographers to submit up to 8 images for an exhibition with the theme of Surreal.

Photographers who are selected will have their work displayed in a month-long exhibition in our gallery, with their work also appearing online in an online gallery on our website.

All participants who are selected to take part in the exhibition will receive a digital certificate of participation and will also be put forward for a chance to be named Photographer of the Month.

We want to see work from both emerging and established photographers. You do not need to be a professional photographer to participate as we believe that photography is for everyone.

How to participate:

Submissions are FREE.  If your work is selected, there will be a participation fee of £48.
This fee covers the cost of everything. We will print, install and un-install the work in our gallery space.

*Please note that the frames used belong to the gallery*

Unless otherwise stated images will either be printed 18"x12, 16"x12", or 12"x12" in size depending on the image.

Photographers are free to collect their work after the exhibition; we will hold prints for one month.

2. Name your image files with your name e,g Firstname-Surname1, Firstname-Surname2, etc
