Free applications are now open for Los Angeles, Chicago, and Sydney, with other locations opening soon.

Hot Summer City: Street Photography Exhibition
Vestige Concept Gallery is hosting an open call for street photography that captures the essence of summer in the city. Whether focused on late nights and outdoor fun or the more insidious effects of the season like oppressive heat, the work should capture the intensity and multifaceted nature of that time of year. Hot Summer City will be guest curated by Rafael Fuchs and is open to international photographers. There’s a $25 entry fee.
Deadline: June 20, 2021.
Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair
The Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair is looking for artworks that explore the breadth of contemporary print. Using a hybrid model this year, the fair will be in person at Royal Arsenal Woolwich from November 11 to 14 and will run online until November 28. Part of its goal is to position emerging artists alongside those who are established in the medium, including Yinka Shonibare, David Shrigley, Tracey Emin, and David Hockney. The application fee is £25.
Deadline: June 27, 2021.
