Call for Entries: Minimalism – Photography Exhibition at Decode Gallery

Minimalism is more than an aesthetic—it's a way of seeing. We invite submissions that embrace simplicity as a creative force. We’re looking for photographs that convey clarity through clean lines, negative space, thoughtful composition, and visual restraint. Your work may explore minimalism through architecture, nature, abstract form, or subtle human interactions. However you interpret the theme, we want images that speak with precision and intention.

A total of 26 works will be selected by our juror for exhibition at Decode Gallery, located in Tucson, Arizona. We handle all aspects of professional gallery printing at no cost to the selected artists. Each piece is printed with care using Epson printers and Ultra Premium Luster paper.

All prints will be mounted in museum-quality 22” x 22” white frames. We offer a variety of precut white mats, including 11”x11”, 10”x15”, 11”x15”, and 12”x15”, among others. Your final high-resolution file will be adjusted for size to best fit the mat—always without cropping—to ensure a polished presentation.

After the exhibition concludes, each print will be archived in our flat files for a period of six months. If you choose to make your framed exhibition print available for sale, you will be notified directly of any buyer interest. Decode Gallery retains no rights to your image, and all ownership remains fully with the artist. In the event of a sale, we operate under a standard 50/50 commission split.

We welcome submissions from photographers at all stages of their careers. If you are drawn to the quiet strength of minimalist photography, we encourage you to share your vision with us.
