PATTERNS IN THE WILD — Rhythm and Repetition
- Deadline: 31 July 2025
- Entry fee: $24 for four images, $4 each additional
- Website: https://www.decagongallery.com/patterns-in-the-wild-entry

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.
