Contest Type

The Abandoned Buildings photography contest, hosted by Blank Wall Gallery in Athens, Greece, invites photographers from around the world to submit their best images capturing the haunting beauty and historical significance of abandoned structures. With the exhibition scheduled for March 14–26, 2025, and a submission deadline of January 30, 2025, this international call for entries is open to both amateur and professional photographers aged 18 and above. The contest celebrates the artistic value of forgotten spaces, encouraging participants to explore themes of time, decay, and transformation.

The contest welcomes submissions in all photography styles, offering participants the freedom to present unique interpretations of abandoned buildings from diverse cultural and geographical backgrounds. Whether it’s an overgrown structure in a forest, an empty industrial warehouse, or a derelict urban building, the possibilities are endless. Selected works will be showcased in a two-week exhibition at Blank Wall Gallery, with over 100 printed photographs displayed alongside digital entries on high-quality screens.

What sets this contest apart is its focus on accessibility and inclusivity. Participation is free for all entrants, and only photographers whose work is selected for the exhibition will need to pay a small fee (€35 for printed photos and €15 for digital displays). Blank Wall Gallery handles all exhibition logistics, including printing, framing, and promotional efforts, ensuring that the selected artists can focus on sharing their vision. For photographers seeking recognition without financial barriers, this contest is an excellent opportunity to gain international exposure.
