Call for entries for a Digital International Photography Exhibition. This exhibition will be a photography exhibition with the theme ACTION!. Free to submit and open to everyone.

The Glasgow Gallery of Photography is running a digital exhibition in November called ACTION!.  

Ready, Set, ACTION!

Photography has always been used to capture action, a protest, a celebration or sporting event. Moments like the bride catching the bouquet or the winner crossing the finishing line, the is action captured to be shared with others.

This digital exhibition is open to multiple genres like sport photography, documentary, street photography and more, as long as it meets the theme of ACTION!, we want to see the images.

ACTION! is an open call for photographers to submit up to 8 images.

Photographers who are selected will have their work displayed in a month-long exhibition in our gallery, which receives, on average, over 500 visitors every month, and will also have their work appear online, via our social media (over 15K followers on Instagram) and in an online gallery on our website (approx. 75K visitors a year).

If selected, participants will have:

• Their work displayed on screen in the gallery and Youtube Channel
• Their work displayed in an online gallery on our website

• Their work be included in an exhibition catalogue

• A digital certificate of participation sent out before the start of the exhibition 
 

• Photos and video of how the work is displayed will be posted on social media

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 and exhibiting your work is a great way of developing your practice and helping you towards the next stages of your learning or career goals.
