Photographers are invited to submit their work to Chiaroscuro: The Art of Light and Shadow, a juried online exhibition celebrating the evocative interplay of illumination and darkness. This exhibition will explore the timeless power of contrast, highlighting how light and shadow shape emotion, narrative, and visual impact. From dramatic silhouettes to delicate tonal gradations, we welcome a diverse range of interpretations that capture the essence of chiaroscuro in photography.

  • The First Place winner will receive a $300 cash prize, and an online solo exhibition on the gallery's Featured page.

​In addition to being featured in our online exhibition, selected artists will receive digital badges, will be included in an exhibition catalog available on Blurb, and a short promotional video on our YouTube channel.

The exhibition will be juried by Tom Chambers.
