Deadline: 30 April 2024
The PhotoVogue’s 2024 Global Open Call invites artists worldwide to share works that celebrate nature’s beauty and resilience.
The goal is to foster compassion and respect for the environment and all living beings, seeking submissions that inspire hope and positive change.
The call transcends the search for visual talent, aiming to foster a message of compassion, respect, and admiration for nature and all animals. They advocate for a fundamental shift in how they interact with the planet and its inhabitants, emphasizing not only the magnificence of the natural world but also the profound love and connection between humans and animals, extending this to the broader community of life that surrounds them.
This initiative is expected to develop into various initiatives that could take place throughout 2024, further enhancing the impact and reach of this important project. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals are the world’s blueprint for a more just and sustainable society and a framework of action for all countries to promote prosperity while protecting the planet.
Theme
- The theme “The Tree of Life: A Love Letter to Nature”, will not only guide this year’s open call but will also be the cornerstone of the next PhotoVogue Festival. This alignment will enable them to delve deeper into the theme through exhibitions, talks, and discussions, significantly contributing to the paradigm shift they aim to inspire. The festival will act as an amplifier, a vibrant platform to explore and provoke thoughts, encouraging a holistic approach to the interconnectedness with nature.
Funding Information

The two artists who submit the most compelling work will also receive a $5,000 grant each (TBC), supporting their artistic growth. Additionally, participants have the opportunity for 1 on 1 virtual sessions with industry experts, enhancing the global and diverse nature of this endeavor.
