Theme: It’s All About the Light

Submissions Open, Non-Juried Exhibit

On exhibit October 2026 - Spring of 2027 at the Edward King House, Newport

This exhibition invites photographers to submit images in which light is an integral part of the scene—where it does more than illuminate the subject.

Whether through its quality, direction, color, contrast, or absence, light shapes the photograph and contributes to its story. We are looking for images where light creates mood, reveals something unexpected, transforms an ordinary moment, or becomes an essential element of the composition.

Key Dates:

• JPGs: Oct. 4 @ Midnight
• Intake: Oct. 19, 10 am–12 pm
• Removal: April
