Seen and Unseen by Cambridge Photography Gallery opens the door to an online, curated showcase built around a single theme. The exhibition is scheduled to run on the gallery’s website from November 15 to November 30, with a submission deadline of November 10, 2025. Entry is free at the submission stage, only selected photographers pay a participation fee of £15. The format is deliberately flexible, welcoming both single images and full projects, with no strict technical constraints beyond what is needed for smooth online display.
The core idea is simple and compelling. “Seen and Unseen” invites photographers to explore what is visible and what slips past the eye—to move between observation and visual poetry. Selected artists receive a digital certificate of participation and a feature on the gallery’s Instagram, alongside inclusion in the online show. It’s a focused open call with clear dates, minimal barriers to entry, and a straightforward submission process by email. For readers tracking best photography competitions to enter, Deartline will continue listing opportunities like this one so photographers can easily compare themes and timelines.
