Landscapes are the backdrops to our lives and the context for everything on our planet. The calmness of a meadow field; the power of a storm; the serenity of a sunset peaking over the mountains; the geometry of downtown skyscrapers. Our surroundings are both function and art.
We invite photographers of all ages and skill levels to submit to DCP’s Landscapes call for entry. Show how you capture the land’s shapes, colors, and forms in unique ways. Abstract interpretations of landscapes are accepted, but no composite images or heavily altered photos. Any location in the world will do, whether natural, agricultural, urban, or interpretive. We’re looking for images that combine your unique perspective with the creative tools of photography including light, form, gesture, composition, and texture. Show us the beauty of both expected and unexpected places.
Selections will be featured in an exhibition in the DCP Gallery in May 2022. Prizes will be awarded to first, second, and third places, as well as honorable mentions. Entry fees help support our mission as a 501c3 nonprofit to serve as a focal point for creators and appreciators of all forms of photography through education, mentorship, exhibitions, and community outreach.
Prizes:
First place: $500
Second place: $350
Third place: $250
2 honorable mentions will receive $100 each
Eligibility:
Everyone of all ages, from amateur and professional, is eligible to participate in this juried competition.
