All styles and types of photography are warmly invited to participate in this open call. Whether your work falls under traditional categories or pushes the boundaries of the medium, we welcome your submissions. Artists who incorporate mixed media into their work are also encouraged to apply, provided that photography is a key component of their creative process. This opportunity is open to all artists, regardless of age (18 and older), nationality, or level of experience. We are excited to receive submissions from around the world, reflecting a diverse and global perspective on the art of photography.

Our publication is dedicated to what we term 'Slow Photography,' a philosophy that embraces a thoughtful and deliberate approach to the creative process. In our view, the narrative and meaning behind an image hold equal weight to its aesthetic qualities. We seek work that embodies this mindful approach, whether created through analog or digital means.

The magazine will be a substantial volume, approximately 350 pages in length and sized at 17x24 cm. It will be divided into two sections: one half curated by our editorial team, and the other half devoted to the work selected from this open call. Each artist or team collaborating on the same project is invited to submit up to 15 images. These images can be presented as a cohesive series, smaller series, or as individual works. We do, however, ask that the submitted images have not been previously published in any other magazine, ensuring that our readers encounter fresh and original content.

This open call offers a unique platform for photographers and artists to share their work with a broader audience and contribute to a publication that values depth, meaning, and the enduring power of the photographic image.
