All About Photo Solo Exhibition September 2026 opens another monthly window for photographers who want more than a single winning image on a results page. The September edition offers one selected artist a month-long online solo exhibition running from September 1 to September 30, 2026, with the final deadline set for August 11, 2026 (Extended Deadline: August 23, 2026). For photographers scanning Deartline’s photography contests and awards coverage, that makes this call notable for its format: it is designed around a cohesive body of work rather than an isolated submission.
The structure is straightforward but ambitious in reach. The winning photographer receives a dedicated exhibition across All About Photo’s showroom pages, homepage placements, a permanent presence in the site’s exhibition archive, and a portfolio page featuring 20 images in the photographers directory. The award also includes an exclusive interview, social media promotion, newsletter coverage, and press exposure through a range of media partners and outlets. Entry is based on an open theme approach, with 6 to 14 images submitted for a flat $45 fee.
Because the All About Photo Solo Exhibition September 2026 competition accepts all photographic genres and is open to professional photographers and enthusiasts alike, it sits somewhere between a portfolio call and a curated online exhibition opportunity. On the facts alone, it is a call best suited to photographers ready to present a sustained visual statement rather than a one-off entry.

Categories or Themes
There are no separate categories for this All About Photo Solo Exhibition September 2026. The competition is open theme, which means photographers can work in any subject or genre, including photojournalism, street photography, fine art, landscapes, and portraiture, as long as the submission functions as a cohesive portfolio or project. That open structure is important because the exhibition format depends on visual consistency. The goal is not simply to submit strong individual pictures, but to present a group of images that can hold together as a solo show.
Dates and Entry Fees
The September edition follows a clearly defined monthly schedule, from submission deadline to exhibition dates.
- Final deadline: August 11, 2026
- Extended Deadline: August 23, 2026
- Exhibition dates: September 1 to September 30, 2026
The entry fee is a flat $45 for a submission of 6 to 14 images.
How to Enter
Entrants must submit a cohesive body of work or portfolio consisting of at least 6 photographs and up to 14 images. The competition has an open theme and welcomes all photographic categories and subjects. Before entering and completing payment, photographers should carefully review their selected images and the complete submission requirements published on the official competition page.
About the Jury
The juror for this All About Photo Solo Exhibition edition is Sandrine Hermand-Grisel, Editor in Chief of All About Photo.
That matters because the format is curatorial as much as competitive. The selected body of work is not simply ranked: it is framed, presented, and promoted as a solo exhibition within the All About Photo ecosystem.
