Call for Entries

Color has the power to transform an image—to set a mood, evoke an emotion, or demand attention. In Color + Space, we invite photographers to explore the dynamic relationship between color and the spaces it inhabits. Whether expansive landscapes, intimate interiors, or abstract compositions, this exhibition seeks images where color interacts with space in compelling ways.

From bold, saturated hues that define a scene to subtle tonal shifts that shape atmosphere, color can be the unifying force within a photograph. We encourage submissions that showcase how color not only enhances composition but also influences depth, perspective, and perception. Whether vibrant or restrained, structured or organic, let color guide the viewer’s experience of space.

We are honored to have Ann Jastrab as juror for Color + Space. She will select up to 35 images in our Middlebury, Vermont Exhibition gallery and another 40 images for our Online Gallery. All 75 images will be reproduced in the exhibition catalog and remain permanently on our website, and be promoted on social media with links to photographers' URL. 

Submission Fee: $39 for 5 images, $6 for each additional image

About the Juror

Ann M. Jastrab is the Executive Director at the Center for Photographic Art (CPA) in Carmel, California. CPA strives to advance photography through education, exhibition, and publication. These regional traditions—including mastery of craft, the concept of mentorship, and dedication to the photographic arts—evolved out of CPA's predecessor, the renowned Friends of Photography, established in 1967. While respecting these West Coast traditions, CPA is also at the vanguard of the future of photographic imagery.

Before joining CPA, Ann worked as the gallery director at RayKo Photo Center in San Francisco for 10 years until its closure in 2017. A dedicated champion of artists, she created a thriving artist-in-residence program at RayKo, where multiple residents went on to receive Guggenheim Fellowships. Ann also served as the gallery manager at Scott Nichols Gallery in San Francisco, where she integrated contemporary artists with the legends of photography.
