Praxis Gallery’s Home photography contest invites photographers to explore the deep, complex idea of “home.” It’s not just about buildings or places to live. Home can mean emotions, memories, belonging, or even feeling out of place. This contest lets you show your view of home – maybe it’s warm memories, family comfort, or the tough feelings of loss and change. The open theme welcomes all kinds of photos and styles.
Photographers worldwide can join this contest. Praxis Gallery, based in Minneapolis, wants to show powerful photos that dig into what home really means. Whether you’re a pro or just starting out, this contest gives you a chance to show your work in a respected gallery. You can submit any type of photo – traditional, digital, black-and-white, color, or experimental. Everyone’s welcome.
The chosen photos will be on display at Praxis Gallery from November 16 to December 14, 2024. Up to 38 photos will be picked, with chances to win top awards like the Directors’ Choice and honorable mentions. It costs $35 to enter your first five photos, and $5 for each extra one, up to 10 total.
