Submit your photographs for our third curated online exhibition. We want to see all kinds of photographic approaches — any techniques are welcome!

Cambridge Photography Gallery invites photographers from around the world to participate in a new curated online exhibition.

The theme of this open call is ECHOES.

The interpretation of the theme is entirely up to you.

Your work may take the form of travel fragments, intimate personal observations, constructed narratives, or imaginative storytelling.

There are no correct or incorrect approaches to the theme! What matters is your voice, your vision, and the story you choose to tell.

Details:

  • Submission fee: Free
  • Participation fee (if selected): £15
  • Deadline to submit: July 05, 2026
  • Exhibition dates: July 15 – July 30, 2026
  • Eligible submissions:  Singles and Series


Exhibition benefits:

  • Selected works will be presented in a curated online exhibition hosted on the Cambridge Photography Gallery website.

About Cambridge Photography Gallery:

Cambridge Photography Gallery is a new independent online platform for contemporary photography.

Founded by photographers, we aim to create a space for meaningful photographic work — projects that encourage reflection and emotional response.

Our goal is to create a dialogue between artists and viewers about what contemporary photography means today.

Cambridge Photography Gallery currently operates online.

We are growing fast. In October 2026, we will be organizing our first offline exhibition in Cambridge, and we hope that one day we will be able to establish a dedicated physical space for photography in the city.

Eligibility:

Open to all photographers worldwide

All photographic techniques are allowed

Artwork sales and commission:

The exhibition is non-commercial. Artworks will not be sold through our platform.

Our goal is to provide visibility and context for the artists rather than to facilitate direct sales.

Copyright:

Copyright of all submitted works will remain with the photographers at all times.

By submitting, artists grant us permission to exhibit and promote their work in the context of this exhibition and its related promotional materials.

Who is eligible for this opportunity?
Photographers of all levels and from all countries.
When is the deadline?
05 July 2026
How many works can I submit?
There is no fixed limit on the number of images. You are free to include as many as you feel are necessary for your project.
Can I submit diptychs, collages, virtual photography?
Yes. All formats and approaches are welcome.
Can I submit AI-generated images?
No, AI-generated images are not accepted.

You may use AI tools as part of the workflow or editing process of your photographs, but fully AI-generated images are not accepted.
Why is the exhibition only two weeks long, even though it’s online?
We believe that a limited time window helps the exhibition feel special. During these two weeks, we will actively promote the exhibition, post dedicated Instagram posts, and share stories together with the artists. After it ends, the exhibition will remain accessible on our website in the “Past Exhibitions” section.
