Hi,

Welcome to The Open Call List #73!

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:
This week’s list contains 22 calls for entry, 12 of which offer free submission. This list contains opportunities for solo and group photobook publication, a wide range of digital and print magazine publications, several calls for exhibition including for group exhibitions, solo exhibition proposals, digital exhibition, alternative process works, and more. The list also contains several photo awards and grants, including general awards, grants for environmental photography, street photography awards, photography by veterans, and more. Finally, the list includes calls for writing, as well as multiple funded photography residencies.

The Jobs section contains new positions in the photo arts industry. This week’s openings include, in particular, new internships, as well as photography-related positions in higher education, and various jobs at photographic institutions.
