INFORMATION AND ELIGIBILITY

Open to all photographers internationally.

Petals of blossoming flowers and the simple emergence of leaves from the new growth of the season are welcoming visuals for the eyes after the long winter slumber. During this spring season of growth the Blossom exhibition will celebrate photographs of flowers and plants in all their forms. Photographs captured through the exploration of nature photography, still-life genres or through approaches of people interacting with floral and plant imagery are the types of images that we are seeking to feature. This exhibition will represent images from a wide spectrum of blooms and foliage from plant varieties that are grown and appreciated in our lives.

Each photograph will be considered based upon the merit of individual images submitted by each artist. Theme based entries are not necessary. A brief artist statement is optional. Selected artists will have their work featured in the exhibition and online.
