Photometria Parallel Voices 2026 is a portfolio call with a clear promise: nine selected series will be exhibited at the Photometria International Photography Festival in 2026. Submissions run from November 1 to December 15, 2025, and each entry consists of a fifteen-image portfolio from which eight images will be shown if selected. The entry fee is 20 €.
The brief is simple and focused. Build a coherent series on a topic of your choice, one that reads as a whole and stands up to close viewing. Results will be announced in February, 2026. If you are planning your calendar across multiple calls, Deartline keeps an updated hub of photo contest deadlines to help you stay on top of what opens and closes next.
For photographers who work in series, Photometria Parallel Voices is a straight path to an exhibition slot if the portfolio is chosen. It is open-topic but judged on relevance, cohesion, and artistic quality, which favors thoughtful editing over volume.

Why Enter Photometria Parallel Voices 2026?
This is a portfolio-first opportunity with a clear outcome. If selected, eight images from a fifteen-image submission are exhibited at an established festival, which makes this call attractive for photographers shaping a series and looking for public presentation without an overly complex process. The open theme rewards clear concepts and careful sequencing, and the criteria (relevance, cohesion, artistic quality) align with how strong series are edited. The timeline is also practical: a six-week window to submit, decisions soon after the deadline, and the exhibition scheduled within the festival’s 2026 program.
