CALL FOR ENTRY: Patterns in the Wild
Juried Online Photography Exhibition
Decagon Gallery invites photographers worldwide to submit to our upcoming online exhibition, Patterns in the Wild—a visual exploration of the rhythm and repetition that surrounds us in both natural and urban environments.
Whether found in the fractals of a fern, the geometry of city grids, the textures of rust and decay, or the symmetry in animal markings—patterns speak a universal language. They reveal order in chaos, beauty in randomness, and design where we least expect it.
We welcome work in all photographic styles and techniques, from traditional landscapes to abstract interpretations, macro to aerial, documentary to experimental. Show us how you see pattern in the wild.
Juror: Wendi Schneider
Awards and Features:
First Place: $500 cash prize and an online Solo exhibition
Second Place: $300 cash prize
Third Place: $200 cash prize
Juror’s Awards and Honorable Mentions:
All selected photographers will receive a digital award badge
Selected work will be published in a printed exhibition catalog available for purchase.
A short video presentation will be created and shared on our YouTube channel and the gallery website and social media.
