Decode Gallery is thrilled to announce our upcoming photography exhibition theme: COLOR. From the vivid blues of a summer sky to the rich, deep reds of a setting sun, color has the ability to captivate, inspire, and evoke emotion. It is an essential storytelling tool, allowing photographers to enhance mood, create contrast, and guide the viewer’s eye through an image. Whether you explore the bold intensity of primary colors, the soft elegance of pastels, or the dynamic interplay of complementary hues, we are eager to see how you incorporate color into your photographic vision.
For this exhibition, our juror will carefully curate a selection of at least 26 outstanding images that best represent the theme. Selected works will be professionally printed by Decode Gallery at no cost to the artist. We use an Epson printer and Ilford Pearl paper to ensure exceptional print quality. Each photograph will be framed in a museum-quality 22” x 22” white frame with a pre-cut white mat for optimal presentation. We offer various mat sizes, including 11” x 11”, 10” x 15”, 11” x 15”, 12” x 15”, and others. Our team will adjust the final high-resolution images for the best fit within these dimensions—without cropping—to maintain the integrity of the artist’s original vision.
If a selected photographer chooses to list their exhibition print for sale, Decode Gallery will notify them promptly if an interested buyer inquires. The artist retains full ownership of both the image file and the printed work. In the event of a sale, Decode Gallery takes a 50% commission, with the remaining 50% going directly to the photographer.
Photographers will receive an email notification regarding their selection status within two weeks after the submission deadline. Once accepted, high-resolution JPG files must be submitted within two days to ensure high-quality printing. The official gallery opening will take place on April 5th, providing an exciting opportunity for artists to showcase their work and engage with the photography community. We can’t wait to see your vibrant interpretations of COLOR!
The "Color" Photography Contest & Exhibition sounds like an exciting celebration of creativity! It's always fascinating to see how different artists interpret color and use it to evoke emotions or tell stories. Whether it's the subtle hues of nature or the bold contrasts in urban landscapes, color plays such an important role in how we perceive the world. I imagine this exhibit will be filled with powerful and captivating visuals that really draw you in. Would love to see how the different photographers play with tones and shades to create their masterpieces!
