The White by Blank Wall Gallery exhibition is a dedicated call to photographers to explore this powerful and evocative hue. This international competition invites artists to submit their personal interpretations of “White”, a color that embodies both the absence of color and the essence of light itself. With a submission deadline of December 4, 2025, this is a prime opportunity to have your work exhibited in a physical gallery in Athens, Greece. For those searching through online photography competitions, this call stands out for its specific, creative theme and its artist-friendly, risk-free submission process.
A key feature of this competition is its accessible entry model: submissions are completely free. Only photographers whose work is selected for the exhibition are required to pay a participation fee of €35. This fee covers all production costs, including the printing and framing of the photographs for the two-week exhibition in January 2026. This approach allows photographers of all levels to submit their work for consideration without any initial financial barrier, ensuring that the selection is based purely on artistic merit. Over 100 printed photographs will be chosen for the show, providing a significant platform for exposure.
Prizes
Selected photographers exhibit more than one hundred printed photos in total across the show.
Printing on 260 gsm paper, framing, hanging and exhibition logistics are provided by the gallery at no additional charge. Some artists are also presented on a 43 inch 4K digital screen inside the space. All exhibiting photographers are featured on the Blank Wall Gallery website and the gallery facilitates direct contact with collectors if there is interest in a work. No commission is taken on sales and prints can be collected after the show. Images remain credited to the author in all gallery uses.

The central theme is the color white and how it shapes a photograph. The prompt fits austere studies that live within minimalist practice, tonal work aligned with black and white and broader interpretations that sit near conceptual or fine art approaches.
