Hi,

Welcome to The Open Call List #44!

In this weekly newsletter, I share opportunities for photographers for exhibitions, publications, fellowships, grants, residencies, jobs, and more. My goal is to make the photography world more accessible, especially to emerging artists. While I include both free opportunities and calls for entry with submission fees, I only share opportunities that favor artists.

Opening Remarks:
In the last list of the year, I want to express a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has subscribed to, shared, or supported The Open Call List in 2024. Since starting the newsletter in March, I have worked hard to make it a valuable and accessible resource for photographers at all career stages. I appreciate all of the positive responses (messages, subscriptions, and more) to the work that I have put into the newsletter this year. Thank you!

If you are a reader who would still like to support The Open Call List before the year’s end, please consider a paid subscription. Paid subscriptions are available on annual or monthly bases and grant access to all paid bonus material, including…

  • 24 Photography Festivals Around the World with Open Calls

  • 18 Photography Publications with Free, Rolling Submissions

  • 12 Fully-Funded Photography Residencies with Darkrooms

…as well as new bonus material each month. For the holidays and new year, support the newsletter and your own photographic practice all at once!

This week’s Open Call List contains 26 calls for entry, 17 of which offer free submission. This list includes several fully-funded photo residencies, four print publication opportunities, many internationally open year-end awards, calls for exhibitions, grants, fellowships, an alt-process opportunity, and more. The “Jobs” section includes internships, gallery positions, photography professorships, as well as two remote roles with photobook publishers (Aperture and Taschen), and more.


Please read this note about newsletter pricing:

I make The Open Call List available for free in the spirit of maximizing accessibility in the photo world. That said, I am a one-person team and a fellow artist. If you find the list helpful and you have the means, I ask that you opt in to a pay-what-you-can subscription. Paid subscribers receive access to a growing collection of evergreen monthly bonus guides. To support the newsletter and receive paid benefits, use the links below to access the sliding scale prices:

Subscribe for…
$2/month (or $20/year)
$3/month (or $30/year)
$4/month (or $40/year)

At any amount, paid subscriptions support the time and energy I spend finding, vetting, and sharing open calls every week. Thank you!
