Imagine your most pared-back composition reaching audiences around the world: Minimalism by Carlotta Gallery invites photographers to strip back excess and capture purity of form. This global open call is dedicated to images that harness negative space, subtle tones, geometric shapes, and a stripped-back approach to subject and structure, with the goal of conveying depth and emotion through restraint. Entrants have until 1 October 2025 to submit up to three JPEGs via email, and all selected works will be showcased in a Virtual Online Exhibition accompanied by an artist biography and statement. Open to photographers worldwide aged 18 or older, this event bridges cutting-edge virtual platforms with timeless artistic discipline.
Whether you’re a seasoned professional or exploring new techniques, this competition is close to the trending photography challenges online featured on Deartline. The application process is free, and entrants may submit up to three entries at no cost. A nominal fee only applies if you’re chosen—£20 for one showcased artwork, £30 for two, or £35 for three—ensuring an affordable opportunity to elevate your creative profile.
As a focused showcase of simplicity, Minimalism by Carlotta Gallery stands out for its clear thematic criteria, tangible benefits, and inclusive format. Selected photographers gain a free digital catalogue, a Certificate of Recognition, social media promotion, and lasting exposure on both the gallery’s website and Instagram. These measurable benefits can enhance portfolios, attract new opportunities, and position work within international dialogues on minimalism. This call exemplifies factual value for creators committed to distilled imagery.
