Wildness: Juried Exhibition Exhibition
- Submission Deadline: September 10, 2025
- Eligibility: International
- Categories: Photography, Film/Video/New Media

Photographers, visual designers and video artists are invited to submit 1 up to 3 works addressing the theme of "Wildness". Men can learn to know themselves through their relationship with nature; awakening in them feelings, curiosity, fears etc., thus bringing out the most authentic side of one’s own being. Re-discovering the connections that bring men closer to everything in nature, one perceives and elaborates an organic cohesion with the world that influences his own emotions, thoughts and visions of the world. Precisely through the visions of the natural world, the call for the exhibition "Wildness" intends to select works that can express a "romantic" approach to nature, as well as those works of the documentary, scientific -anthropological/ -botany/ -zoological kind that help us get in touch with it.

- Award Info: $900 in awards
- Eligibility: International
- Categories: Photography
- Online Only: Yes
Description
Photo Artfolio invites photographers worldwide to submit work for Modern Muse, an online exhibition celebrating the forces that ignite creative vision. Who—or what—inspires you to lift your camera? What subject, scene, or emotion compels you to frame and preserve it? Muse doesn’t have to mean a person. It might be the shifting light on water, the quiet strength of a recurring portrait subject, the pull of home, or the thrill of a single gesture on a busy street. Modern Muse explores how inspiration takes shape today—fleeting or fixed, emotional or visual, deeply personal or profoundly universal.
