    camera: film, digital, phone, scanner, b/w, color, collage/montage, alternative processes
  • Calls for Work are open to all photographers, internationally, over the age of 18.

  • The Davis Orton Gallery promotes both gallery exhibitors and portfolio showcase exhibitors through its website, press releases, banner and other forms of marketing.
    You may enter any call for work at any time up to deadline
