THEME: With Spring upon us, what does rebirth and renewal mean to you? These concepts, though closely related, carry their own unique essence—each symbolizing transformation and the opportunity for new beginnings. Whether you view them as a personal awakening, a spiritual rejuvenation, or a deep connection to the changing seasons or the cycles of nature, spring often serves as the perfect metaphor for these profound shifts. It's a time when growth, renewal, and a fresh start invites us to reflect on our own moments of rebirth. We invite you to share your interpretations of these themes—whether through a celebration of nature, an exploration of spirituality, or a deeply personal revelation during a unique journey, or simply spending time to reflect during one’s solitude... Let your creativity shine through any genre: Conceptual, Staged, Documentary, Street, Social Commentary, Montage, Alternative Processes, or Experimental. (Fully AI generated imagery will not be considered). We look forward to seeing how you capture the powerful essence of rebirth and renewal. 5% of artist entry fees goes to the charity of the jurors.
