InFocus Photo Exhibition: Call for Submissions

InFocus Photo Exhibit proudly presents its 12th annual exhibition and awards program.

We invite photographers from around the world to submit to InFocus Photo Exhibit & Awards 2026 with the theme “The Space Between” — a celebration of ambiguity, transition, and the unseen threads that shape our world and tie us together. We are looking for photos that challenge, question, and illuminate the liminal: the emotional gaps, the silent pauses, the overlooked details, and the beauty that exists in uncertainty and temporality. This is an open theme, open and expansive, leaning towards those things that can’t be explained, only felt. We are looking for visual poetry.

All photographic styles, genres, and approaches are welcome.
All skill levels are welcome.
Deadline: Thursday, October 30, 2025
Submit: https://www.infocusphoto.ca/
