Red - red is rarely neutral

Brooklyn, New York, USA
Deadline: Saturday, February 28, 2026
Theme: Red Red is rarely neutral It can signal love, danger, memory, intimacy, anger, devotion, loss—or something so private it resists explanation. Red may dominate an image or barely register: a trace, a stain, a thread, a gesture. In this exhibition, red is not a spectacle. It is a presence. ​RED invites photographers to submit work in which red functions as something personal rather than symbolic or decorative. We are looking for photographs that are quietly personal and visually honest—images where red emerges naturally from the photographer’s way of seeing, lived experience, or emotional landscape. Juried by John Manno / gallery director​ ​ Awards and Features: First Place: $500 cash prize and an online Solo exhibition Second Place: $300 cash prize Third Place: $200 cash prize
