We are currently accepting photographic submissions of any genre—and we invite artists to explore the creative challenge of working within a square format. Whether your expertise lies in portraiture, landscape, documentary, architectural, or conceptual photography, we are excited to see how you interpret and innovate within the constraints of a square frame. This format offers a unique compositional balance and invites a fresh perspective—so feel free to push boundaries and surprise us.

A total of 12 photographs will be carefully selected by our guest juror to be exhibited at Decode Gallery. We take pride in presenting our exhibitions with the utmost professionalism. For each selected artist, Decode Gallery will handle all printing at no cost. We use a high-end Epson printer and print on Ilford Pearl paper, ensuring each piece is gallery-ready. Only a single print will be produced for the show, and following the exhibition, it will be stored in a flat file archive for a duration of 6 months. Our display format includes museum-quality 14” x 14” frames, with custom mats cut to 7” x 7”, creating an elegant presentation for your work.

If a photographer chooses to offer their print for sale, and a collector expresses interest, the photographer will be notified immediately. Please note that all rights to both the digital file and physical print remain fully with the photographer. Decode Gallery retains a 50% commission on any sales, with the remaining 50% going directly to the artist.

Applicants will be informed of the juror’s selections via email within two weeks of the submission deadline. We look forward to seeing your vision in square.
