An international gallery show without a compulsory subject Gallery 110, an artist-run exhibition space in Seattle, Washington, invites artists aged eighteen or over from around the world to its sixteenth International Juried Exhibition. Entries are open until October 31, 2026 and the selected works will be exhibited February 4–27, 2027 in the Pioneer Square gallery district. The exhibition has no set subject: eligible original artwork in two or three dimensions can encompass photography, contemporary drawing, printmaking, painting, sculpture and materially feasible installation. An applicant must be the creator or legitimate copyright owner and able to provide real work for display if selected. Three images are included in the application fee The standard application charge is US$40, which allows images representing up to three works. Each additional work costs US$10, up to ten entries in the same submission. Applications are made in US dollars through the Artwork Archive link on the gallery's official announcement, and the fee is non-refundable whether or not the artist is selected. The call is not a promise of free exhibition for every applicant. Artists should organise accurate sizes and media labels, installation instructions and a realistic transportation plan before entering. Prize amounts and the cost of getting to Seattle The invited juror, Ryan Hardesty of Washington State University's Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, will award first prize of US$1,000, second US$500 and third US$300. A further US$200 People's Choice award is offered. The gallery expects to contact selected artists in December, when they will have seven days to return a signed consignment agreement. The works must arrive in Seattle in January 2027, with prepaid return labels; delivery and return shipping are the artists' responsibility. No guarantee is made of international freight support or sales. Gallery history and application confidence Gallery 110 has published a record of annual juried exhibitions and monthly art walks in Seattle's Pioneer Square. Its official announcement names a jury member with institutional museum experience, dates, physical gallery address and an established submission processor. International artists should check import duties, damage insurance and rights to reproduce promotional images before paying, especially when a delicate or interactive work would be costly to transport.

A video-art programme outside mainstream narrative cinema DELETE TV is accepting submissions for its thirteenth season of experimental moving-image and video art. Based around an independent international curatorial platform, it selects unconventional animation, nonnarrative and narrative experimental short films, and work using emerging techniques including AI-generated cinema. International artists may apply with completed short pieces regardless of location. Selected works enter festival transmission through Austrian broadcasts and global livestreams rather than automatically receiving a physical gallery installation or a commissioning contract. Runtime, language and rights rules Works may not be longer than ten minutes, including the relevant end credits. Films need to be in English or subtitled in English, where dialogue requires translation. A performer, source-footage provider or AI system's inclusion does not eliminate the author's responsibility for copyright and third-party permissions. Through its terms, DELETE TV requests permission to reproduce promotional still frames, video excerpts up to ten percent of the film's length and the selected full film in its non-commercial archive and partner screenings. Those distribution rights should be evaluated before submitting festival-exclusive material. Current fee stages and no assured artist salary The regular deadline is December 31, 2026; at that stage the fee is US$20 per work. An extended submission window closes February 17, 2027 and costs US$35. Entry fees are non-refundable and should not be confused with a deposit on eventual cash awards. The FilmFreeway page describes selection and broadcasting but does not promise that every shortlisted artist will receive pay or their international travel reimbursed. Before applying, read the route and pricing for Experimental Video Art, Experimental Shorts and Narrative Shorts. Organiser background and risk checks DELETE TV maintains a publicly accessible archive of earlier broadcast seasons going back to 2015, and its current homepage links directly to the FilmFreeway application. The existence of a historical programme and current English-language rules allows creators to verify the call without following unsolicited offers from agents. Artists using sensitive documentary content or footage of identifiable people should confirm display permissions and privacy expectations before authorising worldwide screening.

An inaugural festival for moving images and sound Meshwork is a new visual-music festival in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, scheduled for February 25–28, 2027, with support from Carnegie Mellon University College of Fine Arts. Its artistic premise links perception, image, music, computation, animation and live audiovisual practices rather than restricting submissions to conventional music videos. Organisers Johannes DeYoung and Annie Hui-Hsin Hsieh invite international artists and teams to submit work made within the preceding five years. A prior public screening does not disqualify the piece, and no world-premiere status is required. As a first-year festival, it should not be represented as already having a long history of prior editions. Screen, expanded-media and student categories Screen-Based Works covers experimental cinema, moving image, digital animation and algorithmic or audiovisual compositions. Expanded Cinema is for installations, live audiovisual performance, multi-projector environments, spatial media and works using technology, physical elements or audience interaction. Applicants must explain hardware, sensors, computers, sound channels, spatial requirements and how the proposed work operates in time. The Student Works category accepts currently enrolled students and some recent graduates who meet its stated timeframe; student submissions can be screen-based or expanded. Regular fee $25, but student projects are free The regular deadline is October 31, 2026 with a US$25 fee for the standard screening and expanded-media categories; the late round through November 30 is US$35 and the extended December 20 deadline US$45. Student Works submissions are free, even during the later windows. This is a meaningful distinction: not all entries cost $25 and an ordinary creator should not present a student category as a general waiver. The organiser expects to notify applicants by January 11, 2027 and does not guarantee a cash artist fee, international transport or lodging for every selection. Institutional backing and rights Meshwork lists real festival directors, a campus address and venue, submission terms and equipment limitations on FilmFreeway. Artists retain their copyright while permitting selected works to be screened and reasonable excerpts or stills to be used in festival publicity. A technologically complex installation cannot assume the festival will supply every unusual projector or interface. Candidates should confirm what can be safely accommodated before committing installation costs.

DIY publications, illustration and visual culture online Woman Made Gallery has announced Adhesive Resistance, a virtual juried exhibition running February 27–March 27, 2027. It welcomes stickers, zines, small editions, pin and button artwork, illustrated pamphlets and other inexpensive printed matter that communicate through accessible visual formats. The invitation particularly values experimentation, humor, urgency and the democratic aspects of DIY distribution, so polished design and intentionally rough visual practice can both fit. The call is open to women and nonbinary artists from any country, with applications due December 31, 2026. The particular virtual show has a $20 entry fee The gallery's call lists a US$20 application charge for Adhesive Resistance, different from the fee of its separate Unraveled textile exhibition and the gallery's general juried-entry rate. One artist normally enters one application presenting up to three artworks, with descriptions and a concise statement explaining the intended audience and form. A digital scan or photograph should show that the object is a sticker, printed zine or edition rather than an unrelated digital painting. Because this exhibition is virtual, international applicants should not assume that physical shipping is required, but they must review the current entry form's digital file specifications. No automatic cash grant or sales contract The main outcome is an online juried exhibition with cultural visibility, not a promised salary or cash prize. Selected artists will be bound by terms governing digital reproductions and promotional imagery. Any sale, merchandise printing or distribution outside the exhibition would require additional arrangements, particularly where the artwork contains protected trademarks or identifiable people. As with other gallery competitions, a paid submission does not guarantee selection or a commission. About the gallery and juror Woman Made Gallery is a longstanding Chicago arts organisation focused on women and nonbinary artists, with a regular history of juried shows and exhibitions. The announced juror is Courtney Nzeribe, and selection notifications are scheduled for January 31, 2027. Its official site provides the current show calendar, eligibility rules and fee-waiver policy. Creators should review the form for any restriction on primarily AI-generated artwork before uploading sticker and zine imagery.

An exhibition dedicated to expanded textile practices Woman Made Gallery in Chicago is accepting artwork for its 2027 exhibition Unraveled, scheduled for January 16–February 13. The juried call welcomes women and nonbinary artists worldwide and explores fiber, textile, stitching, quilting, weaving, soft sculpture and experimental practices that reinterpret or extend textile traditions. Relevant digital work might include generative textile patterns, code-assisted weaving, animated documentation or interactive fabric installations, but an applicant must show a clear material or conceptual link to textiles. The exhibition is being adjudicated by Rebekah Baker and submissions close November 7, 2026. Specific current fee and application limits The individual Unraveled call lists a US$30 entry fee; the gallery's general guidelines mention a default US$35 for some other juried exhibitions. Applicants should use the fee belonging to Unraveled rather than copying the general figure without checking the current form. The gallery generally permits one submission containing one to three pieces, requiring an artist statement and an accurate image of the finished or exhibition-ready work. Its policy disqualifies art presented at the gallery in an earlier exhibition and primarily AI-generated works with minimal human intervention. Shipping, assistance and selection Selected work is expected to arrive ready for display, with the precise dimensions, installation method and insurance or sales conditions documented in the acceptance contract. This is a juried exhibition, not a stipend paid automatically to everyone whose application is complete. The gallery offers a limited number of entry-fee waivers, with some reserved for underrepresented or financially disadvantaged applicants; request a waiver before applying rather than paying and later expecting reimbursement. International freight and return labels are not automatically included in the entry fee. A long-running organisation with a clear mission Woman Made Gallery is a Chicago nonprofit established to support the exhibition and recognition of women and nonbinary artists. It has programmed shows with museum and independent curators and publishes its eligibility and reuse rules on a dedicated site. The organisers' public application page, historical exhibitions and physical address allow artists to check the legitimacy of the opportunity and judge whether a textile-centered group show suits their practice.

Human-rights films and documentary VR in the 29th edition The 29th One World International Human Rights Film Festival, organised by Czech nonprofit People in Need, is accepting films for its March 10–18, 2027 programme in Prague and more than fifty towns in the Czech Republic, with additional Brussels events. Filmmakers anywhere may submit works addressing rights, society, conflict, lived experience and justice, including immersive documentary VR and interactive or 360-degree documentary projects. Eligible feature and mid-length documentary films must last at least forty minutes. Separate Docs for Kids permits shorter documentary or animated children's works; a conventional short fiction film should not enter a documentary category simply because it has a social theme. November 1 deadline and precise genre restrictions Applications close November 1, 2026 and must include a completed online entry form plus a preview link available without a viewing limit until at least the end of February 2027. Films should be completed in the years 2025–2027; unfinished work may be considered only with prior agreement from the festival. English-language or English-subtitled material is required for the international selection, and directors are responsible for screening rights. Entry in another international festival is not automatically disqualifying, but producers must check remaining distribution restrictions. Fees and potential nationality-based waivers One World charges €30 for a feature or mid-length documentary submission and €20 for a Docs for Kids submission. A published list of countries of production is exempted from these entry fees, including several lower-income and conflict-affected nations. Such waivers may not apply to a coproduction with a country otherwise required to pay. Applicants must use the current official form to determine the applicable charge, not treat the whole call as free. VR projects and other divisions may have their own practical submission arrangements. A recognised cultural institution with archival obligations People in Need is an established Czech humanitarian and human-rights organisation. Its One World festival has screened documentary cinema for decades, undertakes school education work and offers ten awards including a Virtual Reality Competition Award. Selected filmmakers may be asked to supply dialogue lists, time-coded subtitles, trailers and exhibition copies. The festival retains preview copies in an archive for research and education and may use up to three minutes of a selected film for publicity, so participants should review those terms before providing sensitive footage.

A contemporary photography competition with an actual New York gallery The Chelsea International Photography Competition is currently open to photographers from around the world, both professional and amateur, with a submission deadline of November 3, 2026. It is associated with Agora Gallery and New York Art Competitions and offers curated exhibition visibility in Chelsea, New York. Subject matter is unrestricted, including architectural, experimental, documentary, landscape and art photography. However, every image entered must be available for sale. This requirement matters for photographers working on private or commissioned projects with limited rights. Different fees and minimum picture counts Amateur participants pay US$45 for up to five images; they may submit at least one photo. Professional participants pay US$55 for five images and must submit at least five. Every additional image costs US$5. The organisers define the distinction according to whether photography provides most of the entrant's professional income and an established practice. Uploading videos, films or completely AI-generated images is forbidden, while photographs from digital, analogue and phone cameras are allowed. Applications are final after payment. Exhibition selection and costs The competition offers recognition, an exhibition opportunity and additional awards to selected photographers. It is not a salaried editorial assignment or a universal cash grant. Selected artists are responsible for preparing, insuring and shipping physical prints to and from the gallery according to the programme's rules. The jury is scheduled to announce results on December 1, 2026. Applicants should not assume that a low entry fee covers international freight, printing, framing or sales commissions. Institutional history and photographers' rights New York Art Competitions operates a published contest platform with a gallery address on West 25th Street, jury information, archives and FAQs. The current Guidelines page provides the final deadline and detailed accepted-media rules. Before paying, entrants should ensure releases, copyrights and exhibition pricing arrangements are compatible with their practice, especially when an image includes identifiable people.

2027 opportunities built around broadcasting and listening Wave Farm in upstate New York is inviting artists, researchers and experimenters worldwide to apply for up to six opportunities in its 2027 Research and Production Programme. It supports work using radio transmission, reception, electromagnetic media, remote communication, social broadcasting or spatial sound, not simply conventional music performance. The deadline is December 1, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. US Eastern Standard Time. Several strands share one online application, allowing a candidate to express interest in appropriate programmes, though each successful applicant is offered only one place. Choose the correct residency or research fellowship The ten-day Transmission Art Residency offers space, archive, equipment and technical assistance for a broadcasting-oriented original work. The Spatial Sound Residency supports projects using an eight-channel system, especially those for which transmission or radio is conceptually central. Each of these residencies provides a US$1,000 artist stipend. The two-month Research Fellowship involves radio art archives and curated broadcast programmes; the Community Engagement Fellowship develops workshops around radio technologies and their meanings. The fellowships offer US$2,000 each and include a ten-day on-site period with other work remotely. Restrictions and genuine expenses Full-time students are normally ineligible, with possible exceptions for established artists pursuing postgraduate education. Standard DJ sets do not count as original eligible projects. Artists should describe the conceptual importance of transmission and demonstrate feasible technical design, rather than merely promising an immersive aesthetic. Wave Farm provides on-site accommodation but residents and fellows generally fund their own meals and travel; an advance against the stipend may sometimes be arranged. A grant paid to the selected artist is distinct from full production or international travel reimbursement. The organising institution and the correct year Wave Farm runs WGXC 90.7-FM, a research library and a sound-production campus in the Catskills and is supported by arts funders including the New York State Council on the Arts. Its pages contain earlier 2026 material marked closed as well as the 2027 call. Applicants should use the updated 2027 application and December deadline, not the old March 2026 date still visible in some cached pages. The project's broadcasting archive and previous residents help demonstrate a real institutional record.

A worldwide exhibition dedicated to women photographers The Glasgow Gallery of Photography is inviting women photographers from around the world to submit images for its Women in Photography 2027 exhibition, scheduled for March 4–28 in Scotland. The call is open to emerging and established practitioners and is intentionally broad in subject: documentary, staged portraiture, landscape, conceptual and other photographic genres may be considered. The submission deadline is October 30, 2026. The project is timed around International Women's Day but does not demand a particular interpretation of womanhood or a single subject matter. The important difference between free entry and paid exhibition Submitting images for jury consideration costs nothing. However, a selected artist must pay a £50 participation fee by November 18, 2026 to confirm inclusion; the gallery expects to contact selected participants by November 4. Free submission does not mean the exhibition itself is free for every chosen artist. The fee supports printing and presentation in the gallery, inclusion in an online gallery and catalogue, documentation, and a digital participation certificate. A photographer not selected is not charged that participation fee. High-resolution file format and correct delivery Applicants may send from one to eight JPEG photographs at 300 pixels per inch and with the short side measuring at least 3,000 pixels. Name every file with the photographer's name and a sequence number, and provide the preferred display name, country, relevant titles and a website or social contact if desired. The gallery asks artists to transfer the files through a linked file-transfer service rather than compressing them as email attachments. All images should be sent together through the gallery's officially published submission email route. Gallery background, rights and sensible expectations Glasgow Gallery of Photography organises rotating exhibition series for photographic artists and lists current dates and curator information on its website. The photograph's copyright remains with the creator, who permits specified exhibition and promotional use. Participation is not a salaried job, cash grant or guarantee of future sales. International artists should check image releases and permission for publication before applying.

An international printed issue about travel and place AAP Magazine, published by All About Photo, is assembling its sixty-second issue around the theme Travels. Photographers worldwide aged eighteen or older are invited to submit a coherent series revealing how they see distant journeys, everyday life, regional landscapes, human encounters or cultures close to home. A phone camera and traditional or digital photographic practice can qualify. The deadline is November 10, 2026. Projects should form a consistent visual narrative, rather than a random selection of unrelated holiday images, because the editors consider both individual frames and their strength as a unified published portfolio. Accurate fee structure and image upload From October 23 the standard price is US$35 for the first three images, then US$5 for each additional image up to a total of forty. The earlier US$30 promotion ended on October 16, and the current fee is not a flat US$35 for an unlimited number of photos. JPEG files must be flattened, RGB or greyscale, not watermarked, no larger than 2MB and no longer than 1,200 pixels on their longest edge. The submitted images cannot be edited after payment, so titles, exposure adjustments and spelling should be checked in the account before paying. Prize money versus publication The total cash award is US$1,000, allocated as US$500 for first place, US$300 second and US$200 third. Additional finalists, ranked through the top twenty-five, receive magazine publication and online visibility rather than identical cash prizes. Winners receive a complimentary issue, a gallery presentation and a digital certificate. The organiser expects to contact winners around the turn of 2027. Copyright remains with the photographer, subject to the agreed publication and promotion licence. Editor, publisher and responsible submission All About Photo has published international curated photography collections and a searchable winner archive for years. Its editor-in-chief and juror Sandrine Hermand-Grisel is identified in the official contest announcement. Entrants should ensure model and location permissions where needed, decide if they are comfortable with print reproduction, and use the official website instead of unofficial invitations claiming an easy prize.

A specifically Yukon-based co-commission, not a general global grant interplay_2027 and the Matriarchs Uprising Festival have joined forces to commission one Yukon-based Indigenous female artist to develop an original or adapted real-time online performance. Eligible practices include experimental dance, new-media art, theatre, sound, moving image and hybrid performance. The application deadline is October 30, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time. The programme is dedicated to a particular community and location; artists who do not meet these conditions should not apply to this strand simply because the performances will be screened internationally. An active online artwork is required The work must be designed for co-present live online engagement: a pre-recorded film can be one component, but the shared real-time experience is central. The successful applicant will present in interplay_2027 on February 10 or 11, 2027. A recording will be included in the live cinema programme on February 13 and the festival's Indigi-Dance on Screen activity. The application is followed by short interviews with shortlisted candidates. The selection considers artistic clarity, innovation and the applicant's ability to develop the project with technical mentorship. Payment is split between development and screening The organiser explicitly offers CAD1,500 as an artist fee for creating and presenting the live work and a separate CAD500 fee for screening the documentation. Other support includes access to an IPAA technology bundle valued at approximately CAD900, five hours of mentorship with Chimerik 似不像, documentation assistance, publicity and letters of support. The technology valuation is in-kind equipment access, not a third cash award. Selected artists must also document their technical method and provide a short edited highlight for the partners' digital-arts research archive. Partners and how to verify eligibility interplay is a festival of live online performance produced by Chimerik, supported by organisations including New Works XR and Matriarchs Uprising. Its programme has identifiable producers and Canadian public arts funding. A separate worldwide Live Online Performance open call exists, but its October 8 deadline has already passed.

What does music look like in a photograph? The Griffin Museum of Photography in Winchester, Massachusetts, is seeking photographs for its online exhibition ULTRASOUND. The theme asks artists to reveal the visible consequences of music: collective movement, the mood of an intimate listening space, concert or dance-floor energy, or quieter traces of sound in daily life. Executive director Crista Dix is the juror. Submissions are due October 25, 2026, with online exhibition dates November 15–December 15. The deadline is extremely close, and the actual entry portal must be checked before preparing a long photographic project. A visual-arts call linked to music Unlike contests that merely want a portrait of a performer, ULTRASOUND centres the translation of sound into felt visual experience. Work may interpret the theme literally or conceptually, but a clear relationship between the image and how music affects a place or person is central. Photographers should prepare a concise statement explaining this relationship and make sure all identifiable people have suitable image rights, particularly for scenes shot at private music venues or rehearsals. Submission fee and awards are not assumed The museum's public call summary gives dates and the judging theme but does not establish one universal entry fee or unconditional cash award. The linked official submission form should be treated as authoritative for current per-image fees, file sizes, eligibility and any available waiver. Selection would provide exhibition and recognition, not an automatic salaried commission. Why the museum is relevant The Griffin Museum has a longstanding photography-focused exhibition, education and archival programme, including numerous annual juried calls. Its website names the director, jurors and previous online exhibition themes, offering a way to assess the professional context. Applicants should avoid confusing this still-open ULTRASOUND call with other 2026 Griffin shows that closed in spring.
