CALL FOR ENTRIES TERMS AND CONDITIONS


INFORMATION AND ELIGIBILITY

Open to all photographers internationally.

The process of plants coming into flower, the simple emergence of a blossom, and flowers in full bloom are the fascinations of nature during the renewal of the seasons. FLOWERAGE will feature photographs from a spectrum of botanical specimens from subtle to bold that are grown and found in our lives. Appreciating the splendor of flowers, we celebrate the flower as a subject matter in all forms, through capturing the aesthetic beauty of new growth, vegetation and foliage. Various photographic interpretations of all things flowering and flower related are desired; images of buds, leaves, flowering trees, plants and blooms, whether captured through assembled photography or through nature photography approaches.


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.
