Dreams offer a limitless canvas for photographers to explore inner landscapes, surreal visions, and the creative process itself. Whether emerging from the subconscious, inspired by fantasy, or rooted in personal reflection, these images possess a unique ability to transport viewers beyond reality and into the unknown. For this exhibition, we seek photographs that embody the spirit of dreaming—images that are deeply personal, ethereal, mysterious, or even unsettling. We invite work that captures the blurred line between reality and fiction, bringing forth the magic, wonder, and complexity of the mind’s eye. All photographic processes and interpretations are welcome, from surreal digital composites to dreamlike film captures and abstract experimental works. We are honored to have Emma Powell as juror for Dreams and Imagined Realities. She will select up to 35 images for exhibition in our Middlebury, Vermont gallery and another 40 images for our Online Gallery. All 75 images will be reproduced in the exhibition catalog and remain permanently on our website, and be promoted on social media with links to photographer’s URL.

The 2025 KLPA Portrait Prize is now open for entries with the thematic requirement of street portraiture.

Effectively, street photography has no rules, and we do not limit your boundaries in pursuit of that elusive moment. Impress the jury with strong, enigmatic, and compelling portraits taken in all 'street' settings. Prizes: 1st Prize USD$2,000 + sponsored Residency Program in Malaysia 2nd Prize USD$1,000 3rd Prize USD$500 STUDENT ENTRIES USD$200 each will be awarded to the three best entries.

The projects and artists selected from this call will be part of the central exhibition of the SCAN festival. It will be held at Tinglado 2 at the Port of Tarragona, from 10 October to 7 December 2025 Theme of projects: AQUA Water is vital to the survival of humans and all life on our planet, yet it is estimated that between 1.7 and 2.4 billion people will face water scarcity by 2050. Today, about 40% of the Earth’s surface is at risk of desertification. Seas and oceans contain 97% of the planet’s total water supply. At the same time, human-induced changes in the oceans are affecting the climate, marine ecosystems and coastal communities. More than 3 billion people depend directly on the resources of the oceans for their livelihoods. In addition, culture, spirituality, mythology and even leisure have been deeply linked to water: In religions such as Christianity, Islam, Judaism and Hinduism, water represents purification; in Native American cultures, it is a sacred element; in Greek mythology, the god Poseidon ruled the oceans; in some African cultures, water is a symbol of fertility and a dwelling place for spirits; in ancient Tarraco and throughout the Roman Empire, thermal baths were public baths with areas reserved for gymnastics or recreation; today, beaches, rivers, lakes and springs are areas of leisure and recreation virtually all over the world. For all these reasons, and with the aim of insisting on the value and transcendence of water for our planet, for our survival and that of ecosystems, this year we are dedicating the programme of the twelfth edition of TALENT LATENT to exploring the theme of water. Prizes: SCAN will produce the photographic prints in a reliable professional laboratory. The organisation will ask the selected authors for the photographic originals to produce the prints (they must be in digital format and of the highest possible quality). The SCAN curatorial team will decide on the production of the prints, their number, size and materials, and how they will be installed in the exhibition spaces. At the end of the exhibition, if the author has not informed the organisation of his/her wish to retrieve the copies produced, they will be destroyed. If they wish to retrieve them, the authors will bear the cost of shipping or collecting the works. Eligibility: Artists over the age of 18 of any nationality. Copyrights & Usage Rights: Artists must exclusively own all the rights to their work.

The Penn Institute for Urban Research invites photographers and visual storytellers worldwide to participate in our ninth annual photo contest, Gather: The Power of Place-based Connection. This year, as we celebrate our 20th anniversary, we also celebrate the essential role cities play in bringing people together. Urban gathering takes countless forms: • In parks, where nature and community intertwine. • In the corridors of academia, where ideas ignite movements. • On festival streets, where music and culture weave a shared rhythm. • In stadiums, where strangers become allies in the thrill of the game. • Along transit lines, where millions share fleeting yet meaningful moments. • In demonstrations, where citizens speak out for their rights. • Around dinner tables, where food becomes the medium for connection. Cities thrive because they create environments that are active, innovative, and full of opportunities. Serendipitous encounters fuel productivity, knowledge-sharing, and collaboration. The richness of urban life depends on these moments of connection. What we’re looking for Submit your best photos or videos (1 minute or less) that capture how cities bring people together: To learn. To connect. To celebrate. To play. To indulge. To protest. To care. To grow. To move. To transform. To enter via Instagram, mention @penniur in the caption of your post.

A Tér-Kép Galéria legújabb tárlata kapcsán a résztvevők megvitatják, hogyan befolyásolják az idealizált képek a vizuális művészetet, irodalmat és a populáris kultúrát, és hogyan alakíthatók át ezek a narratívák a művészet erejével. A panel külön figyelmet szentel annak, hogy a női test és a női élettapasztalatok hogyan jelennek meg ezekben az ábrázolásokban, ezzel is inspirálva a kiállítás látogatóit arra, hogy új perspektívákból közelítsék meg az idő fogalmát. A beszélgetés résztvevői : Halász Rita író, művészettörténész Popovics Kinga művészettörténész, az Orgona 22 Galéria vezetője A beszélgetést vezeti : Nagy Nikolett Colette kurátor A belépés ingyenes, de regisztrációhoz kötött.

Izgalmas és szórakoztató előadás keretében ismerkedhetünk meg a természet varázslatos értékeivel. Kora tavaszi kalandok és elmélyülés a börzsönyi patakvölgyekben. Kreatív kompozíciók megannyi fotóstémán keresztül: a csillagok fényében meginduló békák hada, színpompás virágok, találkozások a titokzatos erdei szalonkával és a többi erdőlakóval. 2024-es munkái alapján Potyó Imre lett "A magyar természetfotó" nagydíjasa, az Arany Daru szobor tulajdonosa. Imre rendkívüli módon tud mesélni mind a fotózásról, mind a különleges természeti értékeinkről. Lebilincselő történetein keresztül számos élőlényt, jelenséget ismerhetünk meg és kerülhetünk közelebb az alkotóhoz is. Fotói elrepíthetnek minket a rejtett állat- és növényfajok birodalmába, a legszebb tájak és fények világába. "Legtöbbször magam fedezem fel a természetet, gyakran álmodozom, kísérletezek, és sokat kalandozom odakint az éjszakában. Szeretem a széleslátószöggel készített közelképeket, a merész perspektívákat, kompozíciókat és a makrófotózást. Egy-egy izgalmasabb fotóstéma kidolgozásán gyakran hosszú heteken át dolgozom." Potyó Imre Mottója: Olyat láttatni és úgy, ahogyan kevesen. Az előadás mellett a résztvevőknek lehetőségük lesz kérdezni is az alkotót. A kérdéseket az előadás alatt chat-ben lehet feltenni, illetve előzetesen emailben lehet elküldeni az erdomerules@gmail.com címre. Potyó Imre (1982) környezetkutató, természetfotós. A Duna-Ipoly Nemzeti Park Igazgatóság munkatársa, ahol környezeti nevelőként dolgozik a börzsönyi Hiúz Ház látogatóközpontban. Természetfotós tevékenységét megelőzte a már gyermekkorában kialakuló természet iránti érdeklődése. Egyetemi tanulmányait Szegeden végezte környezettudományi szakon, természetvédelmi szakirányon (SZTE TTK). Korábban kutatóként dolgozott az MTA intézeteiben (Duna-kutató Intézet és Talajtani Intézet), ahol elsősorban dunai halbiológiai felmérésekben, kétéltűekkel, kérészekkel és talajtannal kapcsolatos kutatásokban vett részt, az MME tagjaként pedig madártani vizsgálatokat végzett. Természetfotózással 2007-ben kezdett el foglalkozni. Autodidakta módon képezte magát, tagja a Nimród Fotóklubnak és a naturArtnak. A természetfotózás és a közben megélt élmények átadása a szenvedélye. Szívügye a tudatformálás, így képeivel, előadásaival, ismeretterjesztő cikkeivel és túráival már sokakat hozott közelebb a természethez. Évek óta rendszeresen publikál az Élet és Tudományban, a Varázslatos Magyarország magazinban, valamint további újságokban és online felületeken. Magyarországon kétszer kapta meg Az Év Természetfotósa címet, emellett A magyar természetfotó nagydíjasa lett. Továbbá évek óta sikeresen szerepel a legkomolyabb nemzetközi természetfotós megmérettetéseken is. A világ legrangosabb pályázatán, a Wildlife Photographer of the Year-en például már 6 képét különdíjban részesítették, 2023-ban Dubajban pedig megnyerte a világ legnagyobb összdíjazású fotópályázatának fő kategóriáját. Ezek a megmérettetések számára azért kiemelten fontosak, mert az ezekhez kötődő vándorkiállítások, albumok és online hírek révén képei milliókat szólítanak meg és a különleges fajok története, viselkedése ezek segítségével a világ számos pontjára eljuthat. Kedvenc helyszínei a börzsönyi patakvölgyek és a gödi Duna-part. Kezdetben szinte minden érdekelte, az utóbbi években viszont főleg azokat a témákat keresi megszállottan, amelyek kevésbé ismertek még a természetfotósok előtt is. Időpont: 2025. március 27.18:00 Ajánlott korosztály: 9+ Időtartam: Az előadás 60 perces, az interaktív kérdezz-felelek rész kb 30 perc, amelyet sok kérdés esetén meghosszabbítunk. Platform: zoom A jegyvásárlók részletes információs levelet kapnak a program hetében, amely tartalmazza a belépési linket is. Jegyárak: Early bird ár március 10-ig: 1900 Ft/fő Normál jegyár: 2900 Ft/fő Kedvezményes ár korábbi Erdőmerülés képzési programon résztvevőknek: 1200 Ft/fő A jogosultságot a szervezők ellenőrzik.

Beszélgetéssorozatunkban a Budapesttől távol dolgozó fotográfusok kerülnek fókuszba. Lehetőség vagy száműzetés fotográfusként vidéken élni és alkotni? Hogyan viszonyul a fővárosi közönség a vidéki témákhoz, és milyen publikációs lehetőségek vannak helyben? Működnek-e helyi fotósokat tömörítő szervezetek, műhelyek? A vetítéssel egybekötött diskurzus során a meghívott alkotókkal a fenti kérdések mellett szót ejtünk napi munkájuk nehézségeiről és értékeiről, a vidéki lét sajátosságairól és személyes projektjeik kibontakozásáról is. Ez alkalommal Kölcsey-Gyurkó Sára és Vasvári Tamás lesznek a vendégeink, akikkel Ruprech Judit beszélget. Kölcsey-Gyurkó Sára (1983) Pécsett élő szabadúszó fotográfus, alkotó. Negyedik gyermeke megszületése után autodidakta módon sajátította el a fotózás alapjait. Az első években a hazánkban akkor még kevésbé ismert dokumentarista családfotózás egyik meghatározó képviselőjévé vált. A megbízásai mellett több hosszútávú projekten is dolgozik, melynek témái szorosan fűződnek saját életeseményeihez, élményeihez. Történetei középpontjában legfőképp hétköznapi emberek állnak: nők, anyák, gyerekek elbeszéléseit örökíti meg. Munkáiban fontos szerepet kap az intimitás, a család, a női lét kihívásai, az otthon, a mindennapi élet csendes részleteinek vizsgálata. Munkáit többször díjazták itthon és külföldön. A 37. Magyar Sajtófotó Pályázaton Hétköznapi élet sorozat kategóriában 2. helyezést, a 38. Magyar Sajtófotó Pályázaton Portré egyedi kategóriában 1. helyezést, a 42. Magyar Sajtófotó Pályázaton Hétköznapi élet sorozat kategóriában 1. helyezést ért el. A nemzetközi Documentary Family Awards pályázatán 2021-ben munkái elnyerték a zsűri különdíját. Több egyéni és csoportos kiállításon, külföldi workshopon is szerepelt. Jelenleg FUTURES 2025 ösztöndíjas. Vasvári Tamás 1985-ben született Pécsen, itt szerzett közgazdász diplomát 2009-ben. Ezt követően Budapestre költözött, ahol gazdasági területen helyezkedett el, dolgozott többek közt könyvvizsgálóként, tanácsadóként és banki kockázatelemzőként. 2013-ban lett az Állami Számvevőszék munkatársa, ahol később főtanácsosnak, majd osztályvezetőnek nevezték ki. A gazdasági pályát maga mögött hagyva 2018-ben beiratkozott a MÚOSZ fotóriporteri képzésére. 2019 tavaszától félévig az Index.hu gyakornoka, 2019 novembertől az MTI külsős fotóriportere. Első komolyabb elismerést 2017-ben kapta a Habitat for Humanity „Hon-vágy” című fotópályázatán (3. helyezett). A 41. Magyar Sajtófotó Pályázaton Sport sorozat kategóriában 2. díjat nyert, A 42. Magyar Sajtófotó pályázaton pedig a Természet és Tudomány egyedi kategória 1. díját vitte el. Jelenleg családjával Székesfehérváron él. https://www.facebook.com/events/1936288803563420/

CONFERENCE: European Kinship – Eastern European Perspective↴ How can Eastern Europeanism be defined? What is it that is distinctively its own, that binds the peoples who live here and share a common history and geography? And what are the global solutions to local specificities? Or what and how does all this become one in Euro-ness? What are the trends towards deeper European integration and more international cooperation? And how do they affect artistic-photographic practices dealing with the world around us, its phenomena, its effects, and the related feelings and problems? In the one-day international conference at the Polish Institute Budapest, international experts will be asked about what characterizes Eastern European visual culture and what meanings it may have on the international photographic and/or cultural scene.

📸 1956: Odüsszeia – Ata Kandó személyes és kollektív történetei 1956 nem csupán Magyarország történetének egyik mérföldköve, hanem Ata Kandó életében is meghatározó év volt. Miközben folytatta megrendelésre készített munkáit, két jelentős, ma projektként meghatározható munkába is belekezdett. Az egyik egy rendkívül személyes alkotás, amely gyermekeivel közösen, Dél-Olaszországban készült Homérosz Odüsszeiájának történetei alapján. Ennek képanyagát csak több mint ötven évvel később ismerhette meg a nagyközönség. A másik egy együttműködésben létrejövő projekt volt, amely a magyar forradalom leverésének következményeivel foglalkozott. Ezeket a képeket Violette Cornelius-szal közösen készítette az osztrák-magyar határon. Ata Kandó munkásságában 1956 az autonóm és a kollaboratív fotográfiai attitűdök párhuzamos és egymásra reflektáló alkalmazásának időszakát jelenti. A kiállítás e két, később fotókönyv formájában megjelent művet helyezi egymás mellé és lehetőséget ad arra, hogy a látogatók mélyebb betekintést nyerjenek a fotográfus személyes és a társadalmi történésekre reflektáló képkészítési gyakorlatába. Mindkettő a maga nemében kivételes módon gazdagította a fotográfia műfaját és jelentését a huszadik században. Kurátor: Csizek Gabriella, a Capa Központ kurátora Erdei Krisztina 📸 Bertien van Manen, Téli utazás - Budapest 1975 Bertien Van Manen a nemzetközi dokumentarista fotó meghatározó alakja. Munkáin keresztül egy bátor és érzékeny alkotót ismerhetünk meg, akit elsősorban a társadalom perifériájára szorultak sorsa foglalkoztatott. Számos hosszú távú utazást tett, többek között Oroszországba, Kínába és az Egyesült Államokba. 1975 decemberében első útja egyfajta romantikus képzeletből és a vasfüggöny mögötti mindennapi élet iránti kíváncsiságból Magyarországra vezetett, az akkor itt készült képeket először a pécsi közönség láthatja , ezt megelőzően még soha nem állította ki őket. A kiállítás szervezése 2023-ban kezdődött, a kiállítás megvalósulását sajnos már nem érhette meg.
