Call for Photography Submissions:
The COLOUR Issue + Tamron Award
photoED Magazine

Deadline: September 20, 2024

photoED Magazine shares diverse Canadian photography stories in a brand-new light.

Colour is not only one of the most fun and joyful elements to explore in photography, but colours can hold incredible significance as nostalgic triggers, and symbols for social change.

We’re looking for the most unique, innovative and diverse interpretations of this theme to be published in print, and online.

We are looking to publish – in print and online:

• Well considered submissions.
• A project/idea that you have laboured over and feel that the curators of this edition need to see.
• Fine art – Not stock photography.
• Original artistic works.
• Diverse interpretations on our theme that challenges us to see colour in a fresh new way.
• Existing projects/works only. This is not a call for commissions.

NEW!
