DEADLINE: CENTER Photo/Art Awards and Grants

The annual CENTER Awards recognize outstanding photographers working in all processes and subject matter.

All of CENTER’s Call for Entries opportunities accept submissions from national and international photographers and lens-based artists. Work can have been made at any time and work that has been previously submitted may be re-submitted as we invite new jurors each year. Work derived from all photographic processes is accepted, as well as mixed media that is photo-based.
