Yes. Work made at any point in your practice is eligible, provided you have not entered it into a previous Photofusion Salon open call.

This restriction applies to formal, dedicated solo shows held in established commercial galleries or public institutions. University degree shows, group exhibitions, self-hosted pop-ups, or online features do not disqualify your work.

You may upload up to 3 images on a single form. If your application is successful, the curatorial team will select 1 image to feature in the gallery exhibition.

All artists selected for the SALON/26 group exhibition receive 25% off in-house printing and production services at Photofusion to help prepare their selected work for display.

The winning artist will collaborate with our curatorial team to schedule their 1-week solo exhibition at a mutually suitable time within 12 months of winning, allowing ample time to refine and produce the body of work.

Simply check the opt-in box on the submission form and include a short statement (up to 200 words) explaining how your work engages with environmental themes, climate sustainability, or biodiversity.
