Submissions can include painting, drawing, printmaking, mixed media, sculpture, stained glass, photography and digital art. Works are displayed online using suitable image documentation.

Participants should not pay unsolicited requests without verifying the email and invoice path. Organizer and visibility expectations Manhattan Arts International is an independent online art-promotion organisation presenting artist profiles, themed exhibitions and interviews. Its New Beginnings programme is an online collective display aimed at bringing visual artworks to international visitors. Exposure is the principal benefit described; participants should not assume a cash stipend, travel budget or physical gallery show.

The show is scheduled from 9 to 30 November in its MetArtSpace virtual exhibition. Open formats: digital images, 3D models and video The programme is not restricted to flat digital photographs.

It develops opportunities for international artists to participate in virtual curated group shows and publishes announcements through CuratorSpace.

- Reykjavík Winter Lights 2027: Public Interactive Light Art Call Offers ISK 1 Million Per Project
Reykjavík City issued an open competition on 21 October 2026 to commission light art for its Winter Lights Festival in 2027. The city will select up to two projects, with ISK 1,000,000 allocated to each. Applications close on 15 November 2026 at midnight according to the municipality's notice. Who can apply and what the city wants The municipal invitation welcomes artists, designers, music and lighting professionals, computer scientists, and other creative people working with light or electricity. The selection committee encourages original works and interactive installations that bring new life to Reykjavík's public spaces in the dark winter season. Concepts must be viable outdoors in winter weather and show a coherent relationship with their proposed site. Applicants may propose locations or ask the city for guidance. The committee evaluates artistic merit, public-space impact, originality and the cost and feasibility of the installation. Funding and submission format Two selected projects will each receive ISK 1,000,000, but this is a combined production and artist-fee budget, not a fee paid on top of separately financed fabrication. Proposals must include visual references, a written concept and a cost estimate covering both production and the artist's remuneration. Submissions should be provided as PDF files or equivalent digital presentations using WeTransfer or a comparable transfer service, addressed to vetrarhatid@reykjavik.is by the deadline. Anonymous judging and timetable Every project submission must use a six-digit identifier chosen by the applicants, while a separate file carrying that identifier contains the entrant's identity and contact details. The jury must not see the identity during evaluation. The city expects to announce results in late November 2026, and may decide not to select any project if entries are unsuitable. Reykjavík has run Winter Lights since 2002, placing light installations in the city to celebrate winter. The official English call contains a date inconsistency in its festival-year timeline; artists should confirm the exact February 2027 display dates directly with the city, rather than relying on the copied 2026 year elsewhere on the page. Official call and application City of Reykjavík – official 2027 Winter Lights light-art competition and PDF submission instructions. The organiser's published information was checked on 23 October 2026. Read the complete official rules and confirm all dates, fees, permissions and immigration conditions before applying.
- IPPAWARDS 2027: Twentieth iPhone Photography Awards Open Worldwide, Entries From $9.50
The iPhone Photography Awards, known as IPPAWARDS, has opened its twentieth annual competition with a final entry deadline of 31 March 2027. The contest welcomes photographers worldwide using an iPhone or iPad and includes twelve subject categories, from portrait and landscape to abstraction, animals and city life. Who can submit, and which devices are allowed An original photograph must be taken on an iPhone or iPad. Any generation of iPhone is accepted, and external lens attachments designed for the device may be used. The organiser may request the original image files to verify the device and authenticity; if the origin cannot be confirmed, the entry can be disqualified. The competition asks for work not previously published as a professional publication, but an image already posted to a creator's personal social-media account is specifically permitted. This difference matters to mobile photographers who share work while preparing competition portfolios. Editing restriction: iOS yes, desktop Photoshop no IPPAWARDS' entry rules expressly permit processing in apps on iOS, while prohibiting alterations using desktop image-processing software such as Photoshop. Artists should avoid elaborate computer-based compositing or removing embedded origin data before entry. Copyright and permissions remain the photographer's responsibility, including consent from identifiable subjects and lawful access to properties. Be particularly careful when the image features children or sensitive locations. Entry fees and categories The single-image entry price on the official twentieth-edition page is US$9.50. Bundles are available, including three entries for US$15.50 and five for US$25.50; larger bundles have separate prices. Applicants should choose the actual number of photographs and calculate the price accordingly. The organiser offers a recognised global mobile photography platform with a history beginning in 2007. It publishes awards and galleries featuring photographers from many countries, but payment of the entry fee does not guarantee publication, shortlist placement or any prize. Application checklist and calendar Entries close on 31 March 2027. Check the submission system's time-zone rule, supported file size, categories and payment confirmation. Keep a copy of the unaltered phone image to respond to any verification request. An entry should be uploaded through the secure submission path provided by the official site. Distinguish this 2027 competition from the recently concluded nineteenth edition and its 2026 winning works.

- Thessaloniki Documentary Festival 2027: Free Global Immersive XR, VR and AR Call Closes 8 January
The 29th Thessaloniki International Documentary Festival in Greece, scheduled for 4–14 March 2027, is calling for immersive documentary experiences in virtual, augmented and extended reality. The 'Immersive: All around cinema' International Competition has its own entry date and fee structure: XR projects are accepted until 8 January 2027 with no submission charge. XR works and programme requirements The immersive category seeks VR, AR and XR projects that explore documentary language through interactive and spatial storytelling. The organiser presents immersive work as an independent competitive section, not merely as a screening supplement to linear documentary features. Eligible immersive projects must have been completed within twenty-four months of the festival opening and must not have been released or publicly screened in Greece, either physically or online. This premiere and geography condition can make a previously accessible web installation ineligible; artists should check the complete regulations. Distinct deadlines and fees: do not confuse the tracks The festival's main feature-documentary competitions use a 30 November 2026 deadline, with €60 entry fees after the September early-bird period. By contrast, the festival expressly states that immersive XR entries are free and can be submitted until 8 January 2027. The festival's open-calls index also lists separate professional Agora pitching and XR laboratory schemes with their own dates. A submission to 'Immersive: All around cinema' should not be assumed to apply automatically to an industry workshop or pitching programme. About the organiser, rights and practical needs Thessaloniki is an established documentary festival and film-industry meeting point featuring international screenings, seminars and the Agora Doc Market. The 29th edition adds interactive storytelling to its nonfiction programme, creating a public platform for audiovisual designers and digital artists. Creators should check hardware compatibility, language and accessibility provisions, the need to deliver installation documentation, rights for embedded sounds and footage, and insurance or transport for physical XR hardware. Selection is not a guarantee of travel, installation funding or sales. Where to send work Use the festival's official open-calls page to locate the Immersive/XR submission form. The official newsroom call provides the broad conditions, while the form and full regulations control the actual delivery and licensing details. Before uploading unpublished intellectual property or requiring collaborators to travel, obtain any specific presentation agreement directly from the festival.

- AI Creativity Awards 2026: Eight AI Art, Film and Interactive Categories Close 1 November
The first AI Creativity Awards is accepting international entries until 1 November 2026. It covers eight creative fields shaped by artificial intelligence, including digital illustration, motion graphics, film, music, interactive experiences, product design and responsible AI practice. Standard entry costs £35, while eligible students and recent graduates pay £15. The organiser explicitly says this inaugural edition offers recognition and publication rather than cash prizes. Which works and categories qualify? The eight advertised categories are AI Image & Illustration; Motion & Film; Design & Brand Systems; Music & Audio; Writing & Narrative; Interactive & Experience; Fashion, Product & Spatial; and Responsible AI Creativity. Video art, animation, music video, AI-assisted imagery, VR/AR concepts, interactive prototypes and online experiences all have potential category routes. Existing, published, unpublished and client projects can be eligible where AI materially contributed and the submitter has the required rights. Entirely AI-generated work is not mandatory: AI-assisted or collaboratively made work may also qualify. Entrants should match each project to the category's medium requirements. Mandatory transparency about AI and source rights The submission form asks entrants to describe the concept, creative intent, AI models and tools used, and which parts of the final piece AI generated, enhanced or transformed. Judges are interested in human selection, authorship, execution and the role AI played in the process. Artists must own or license all materials necessary for judging and publication, including client assets, performers' voices, music samples, footage, brand marks and reference imagery. Short process explanations are expected; publishing full prompt logs is not generally required. Fees, awards and submission mechanics The standard entry fee is £35 per category submission, with a £15 option for current students or graduates within 24 months; proof can be requested. A submitted form alone does not complete entry until payment. Results are scheduled for 1 December 2026. Winners and shortlisted creators receive the organiser's titles, certificates or digital laurels, and selected work can be featured in a credited online showcase. The organiser clearly states there is no cash prize. Applicants comparing competitions by financial return should take that distinction into account. Who runs the programme? The award is presented by Graphic Competitions, which describes itself as connecting creatives with international opportunities since 1998. It is an independently operated first-edition programme, not an official endorsement or accreditation by a major public arts organisation. Entry is online with image, PDF or accessible work links; videos, long audio and interactive prototypes are typically shared via external URLs. Read the organiser's refund policy, shortlist publication licence and privacy terms before paying or uploading protected client work.

- Chicago Latino Film Festival 2027 Poster Contest: Free Worldwide Design Call, $1,000 Prize
The International Latino Cultural Center of Chicago (ILCC) is inviting poster designs for the 43rd Chicago Latino Film Festival, scheduled for 15–26 April 2027. The winning concept becomes the festival's principal visual identity and carries a US$1,000 award. Entry is free, and submissions must arrive by 1 December 2026 at 11:59 p.m. local festival time. Who can submit and what to design The published rules welcome individual artists, collaborative teams and design firms from around the world, with up to three submissions per applicant or group. Preference is given to artists based in Illinois or the American Midwest and to Latino artists wherever they live. Geographic preference is not the same as a restriction to United States citizens. The poster must incorporate the festival's full official name, its 2027 dates and the number 43, and reflect the theme 'Latino Stories for Movie Lovers'. It should celebrate varied Ibero-American film cultures rather than reduce the event to stereotypes or a single national emblem. Technical deliverables and AI rule Applicants submit JPEG or PNG digital images through the organiser's web form. The chosen design must ultimately be supplied as layered editable artwork at a suitable high-resolution print standard, and the work should remain adaptable for trailers, merchandise, animated promotions and online materials. The application asks creators to disclose which tools they used. Fully AI-produced designs are excluded. Artists should ensure that fonts, photographs, illustrations and other incorporated assets are either original or licensed for the extensive festival promotional uses described in the rules. Prize, rights and selection A US$1,000 prize goes to the chosen designer, with the winner to be announced in late January 2027. Anonymous selection is conducted by the festival team. Selection is not guaranteed, and there is no cash award for every eligible submission. The published legal notice gives the festival broad rights to display or use submitted entries for its communications. Prospective applicants should read that wording carefully, especially if their illustration or typographic concept may later be sold or used elsewhere. Festival background The Chicago Latino Film Festival has presented cinema from Latin America, the Caribbean, Spain, Portugal and Latino communities for more than four decades. Its organiser, ILCC, uses each edition's poster across printed materials, website, publicity and events. This specific call is for a poster, not for entering a film into the festival's screenings. The official application form is linked from the festival's poster-contest page.

- CCCL Film Festival 2027: Global Climate Shorts and Asian Filmmakers Apply by 31 January
The Changing Climate, Changing Lives (CCCL) Film Festival in Thailand has opened applications for its 2027 edition, with a final submission deadline of 31 January 2027 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Standard Time. It features an Asian Short Film Competition and a Global Shorts programme for international filmmakers, with different film lengths, fees and awards. Two distinct submission routes The Asian Short Film Competition accepts films produced or co-produced in Asian countries and lasting less than 15 minutes including credits. The Global Shorts programme accepts films from anywhere in the world, with a maximum length below 40 minutes. Both must engage with climate change or its impacts. Films in languages other than Thai need English subtitles, and the organiser states that a festival premiere is not compulsory, although it prefers Southeast Asian or Thai premieres for its global programme. Asian entries must have been completed after 1 January 2024 according to the published criteria. Early and regular entry fees For the early submission period through 31 December 2026, Asian competition entries are free. Global Shorts charges approximately US$3–5, and Thai films are free. During the regular period ending on 31 January 2027, Asian competition submissions cost US$5 and Global Shorts US$10; student-film entries are listed at US$3, while Thai films remain free. These fees depend on programme, applicant and submission timing. Filmmakers should check the current FilmFreeway or Google Forms route rather than paying according to an outdated festival listing. Awards and festival economics The competition's listed main awards include a 50,000 Thai baht Grand Jury Prize, 30,000 baht Jury Prize and 20,000 baht Special Mention, with additional awards for an audience-selected film, young filmmakers and specific achievements. Awards are not guaranteed for every category. The organiser distinguishes between competition titles, which receive no general screening fee, and films selected for the Global Shorts programme, which can receive a negotiated screening fee. This matters to filmmakers evaluating the practical costs of participation. About CCCL and application CCCL is operated under the Tonkla Rak Lok Foundation and promotes climate-focused visual storytelling through screenings, educational programmes and community discussions. The 2027 programme is planned for Bangkok and selected cities in Thailand during June.

- World Sight Day Photo Competition 2026: Global Professional and Amateur Entries to 18 November
The International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB) is inviting amateur and professional photographers worldwide to enter the World Sight Day Photo Competition. The current deadline is 18 November 2026, with winners scheduled to be announced on 10 December. It seeks documentary and creative images that make eye health and vision's role in daily life visible. Five subjects photographers can explore The five published categories are Love Your Eyes, Love Your Child's Eyes, Love Your Eyes at Work, Love Health for All, and Making the World See the Value of Vision. Together they cover personal independence, children's learning, protection of eyesight at work, access to healthcare and the wider social value of clear vision. A successful submission should make an identifiable, authentic story intelligible through a photograph, rather than using an unrelated attractive image and attaching an eye-care label. Entries may include portraits, action and community settings, provided the chosen category's guidance is respected. Who can enter and how to submit IAPB says that the international contest welcomes both professional and amateur photographers. The official page links to a dedicated entry platform, frequently asked questions and full terms; applicants should verify file dimensions, the permitted number of entries, model releases and how photographs may be displayed or reused. Photographers documenting patients, children or medical settings should obtain any necessary informed consent, institutional permission and safeguarding clearance. This is especially important where the image contains identifiable health-related information. About IAPB and the competition IAPB is an international organisation promoting eye health and the prevention of avoidable blindness. Its World Sight Day Photo Competition, supported by Bayer, has reached its eleventh edition and provides visual stories to accompany wider public awareness of eye care. The contest is not a commissioned documentary assignment or an employment advertisement. Entrants should read the official awards and licensing information before assuming a fee or prize, and retain original files and permissions. Important calendar Entries close on 18 November, and winners are scheduled to be announced on 10 December 2026. Use the official competition's entry link and check the time zone shown in the actual submission system; the general website does not state a reliable closing-hour time zone in its headline.

- CPH:DOX 2027 Accepts Interactive Documentary, VR, AR and Installations Until 3 November
CPH:DOX, Copenhagen's international documentary film festival, has an open submission channel for the 2027 edition that includes interactive art as well as film. Formats named in the official regulations include virtual reality, augmented reality, mixed media and installations. The upcoming event takes place in Copenhagen on 10–21 March 2027. Which projects can be entered? The festival allows documentary films of any duration and specified interactive formats, including VR, AR and installations. Artists working with documentary-based XR, spatial narratives, experimental non-fiction and immersive media should compare their work with the current submission rules to decide which programme or route applies. An installation or mixed-media project may involve special technical requirements, presentation methods and equipment. Prepare a description that makes the audience experience understandable, not simply a list of hardware or software. The key 3 November deadline has a condition According to the organiser, 1 September 2026 was the submission deadline for films or projects completed before that date. For films completed after 1 September, the later deadline is 3 November 2026, covering all time zones throughout the day. The rules specify that a project can be registered by 3 November without a final preview link if a viewing copy is not ready, but the registration must include at least its synopsis and credits. Do not assume that this flexibility extends to older completed films or all installations; check the full festival regulations. How to apply The festival uses its own registration system, in which first-time applicants create a profile and returning entrants may reuse a prior account. Review the submission guide, choose the appropriate film or project category, complete the form and keep copies of the confirmation and any screener credentials. The organiser also runs CPH:FORUM and CPH:ROUGHCUT for film-industry projects, whose deadlines and eligibility must be evaluated separately. They are not interchangeable with the general film and interactive artwork application. About the organiser and final checks CPH:DOX is an established international documentary festival that presents work in cinemas and across industry platforms. The official 2027 schedule gives 10–21 March for the in-person festival, with additional online programming published separately.

- Al-Tiba9 Art Magazine Issue 23: International Digital and Video Art Call Closes 15 November
Al-Tiba9 Contemporary Art is inviting international submissions to Issue 23 of its art magazine. Its call welcomes digital art, photography, film and video art alongside installation, architecture, design, performance and other contemporary practices. The official listing gives 15 November 2026 at 11 p.m. as the submission deadline. What the magazine publishes Al-Tiba9 positions itself as a publication for artists, architects and designers whose work contributes to contemporary visual culture. It circulates art portfolios, biographies, statements and interviews in both print and digital formats. The publisher reports visibility at artists' book fairs and major international art events, including venues associated with Madrid, Lisbon and Barcelona. Those affiliations describe where the publication is promoted; they do not guarantee that an individual artist will be exhibited at a particular fair. Eligible work and application materials The call covers experimental, digital and new-media approaches as well as photography, moving image, performance and established visual forms. Applicants should prepare an English-language statement and biography, written in the third person, and an accessible portfolio or shared folder showing the relevant works. Add clear work details such as medium, year, dimensions, titles and links to images or video. The organisers warn that shared folders must be accessible to reviewers; submissions by email and WeTransfer are not accepted in place of the official application form. The page allows one application per artist. Important distinction: free to apply, not necessarily free if selected The initial submission is explicitly free. However, the publisher says that a selection fee is charged to artists who are accepted, depending on the selection result. The exact amount and publication package should be obtained from the publisher before agreeing to be featured. This is an important financial consideration: a free application is not the same as a fully funded magazine feature. Review any licensing, image reproduction, print copies, advertising or distribution terms before paying an invoice. Deadline and submission route The official Issue 23 call closes on 15 November 2026 at 11:00 p.m.; the page does not clearly establish the time zone, so early submission is advisable. The publisher requires its web application form and says incomplete or late submissions will not be accepted. For application questions, Al-Tiba9 provides apply@altiba9.com, but not as a substitute for the form. Applicants should verify that they are looking at Issue 23 rather than the older Issue 22 archive before sending material. Official application and final checks Al-Tiba9 Contemporary Art – official Magazine Issue 23 submission page. Details and deadlines can be updated by the organiser. Read the official rules and use only the official submission route before paying fees, sharing documents or submitting work. Information reviewed on 23 October 2026.
- Thirdplat Cultural Hybridity Open Call: Film, Sound and Digital Art to 30 November 2026
The independent platform Thirdplat has opened a November 2026 creative call titled 'The Third Space: Cultural Hybridity'. The theme considers how cultural identities and forms change when traditions, languages and media meet. The organiser explicitly welcomes moving image, photography, sound, performance, writing, craft and cross-disciplinary works. The stated deadline is 30 November 2026. The curatorial question Rather than treating globalisation as a simple blending of traditions, the brief asks what is preserved, adapted, resisted or lost when cultures meet. It encourages specific examples: a traditional craft transformed by digital technology, a language moving between media, or inherited musical and visual forms used in a contemporary setting. The call also raises the boundary between cultural exchange and appropriation. A persuasive submission should identify the cultural sources used and show how the artist approaches them with accuracy, care and their own critical position. Media art and sound submissions A digital installation, experimental short film, animation, sound artwork or hybrid performance can be considered if it directly addresses the theme. An attractive technological demonstration alone is unlikely to convey the brief unless the work also says something meaningful about cultural identity and contact. Applicants should prepare a succinct work description, accurate credits for collaborators and source materials, and accessible links or files. If using archival sound, photographs or culturally specific symbols, check reproduction permissions and the rights of contributing communities. About the platform and potential outcomes Thirdplat organises theme-based open calls and presents works connected to those themes on its website. Its open-call page lists examples of published works, offering applicants a way to understand the editorial approach and expected level of reflection. The published call should not be interpreted as promising a cash award or funded residency. In the absence of an explicit grant amount or application-cost statement in the consulted announcement, applicants should verify costs and rights conditions directly on the submission form. Deadline, language and final checks Entries for the November 2026 theme are open until 30 November 2026. Read the live call, ensure that the work addresses a specific instance of cultural hybridity, and confirm the requested form, media formats, copyright permissions and any editorial agreements. A clear explanation of process can help the viewer understand why particular cultural references are integral to the work, rather than simply decorative. Submit only through Thirdplat's official call page. Official application and final checks THIRDPLAT – The Third Space: Cultural Hybridity, official November 2026 open call.
