Abandoned Buildings (Virtual Exhibition) by Blank Wall Gallery

The artists who will be chosen will be eligible to claim the €1,000

Submit

Buildings of the past remain empty, standing alone, narrating stories to anyone who has the time or the mood to listen to them. Each building a different story, yet the same as the final relult remains the same. We are interested in seeing abandoned buildings from different parts of the world.

This contest is different from what we have been doing up to now. The chosen works will appear in a virtual exhibition and artists will have the opportunity to sell their photographs to a wide, international audience. Blank Wall Gallery does not take any commission from the sales. Finally there are three important cash awards and many other important benefits for the participants.

The artists who will be chosen to be presented at the web page of Blank Wall Gallery and be eligible to claim the €1,000 award in cash, will have to pay a participation fee of €35.

This way, only the photographers who will participate in the voting process for the cash award, will pay a small fee. All the other artist who will submit their work and are not selected will not be charged.
