There are moments that arrive without warning and disappear just as quickly, like a quiet breath drawn and released. Though fleeting, these moments carry a lasting resonance, leaving behind traces of meaning that linger long after they have passed. This call invites photographers to seek out and capture the mystery of the ephemeral—those delicate intersections of light, emotion, and time where something essential briefly reveals itself.

The Shape of an Instant celebrates photography’s unique ability to pause the flow of life and give form to what would otherwise slip away. It honours images that hold the intangible: a glance, a shadow, a shift in atmosphere, a feeling that cannot be explained but is instantly recognised. In these rare moments, a single frame can contain an entire narrative, reminding us that sometimes one instant is enough to tell a complete and enduring story.
