Glasgow Photography Gallery 'Seasons 2027': Free Entry by 30 October, £50 Only if Selected
The Glasgow Gallery of Photography invites photographs capturing the changing seasons for an exhibition from 4 to 28 March 2027. Applications are open worldwide, with a submission deadline of 30 October 2026. The key financial distinction is that submitting is free, but a selected participant must pay a £50 exhibition fee.
Subject, selection and artwork delivery
Photographers may submit as many as eight images reflecting spring, summer, autumn or winter. The brief invites interpretations of seasonal light, weather, colour and environmental change, without requiring a particular location or country. Selected pieces are printed, framed and displayed by the gallery.
The gallery also presents selected pictures in an online gallery and exhibition catalogue and provides a digital participation certificate. Files should follow its naming instructions and size/format checklist. The frames remain gallery property; artist attendance is not stated to be required.
Free application versus selected-artist costs
The initial submission costs nothing, but acceptance carries a £50 participation fee, payable by 18 November 2026. The gallery expects to notify successful entrants by 4 November. Photographers who cannot afford the fee should assess that obligation before applying.
The selected photographer does not automatically receive cash prize money or sales income. The organiser offers catalogue, website and social-media exposure and consideration for its Photographer of the Month feature. Examine copyright, sale price and print ownership terms in the original call.
