Thoughts of Summer ends 1 April 2026

Deadline: 1 April 2026. Thoughts of Summer, that time of year for family, friends, fun and food. The time for vacations, the beach and the mountains. Share your best images that celebrate summer.
Color or monochrome, all subjects, digital or antique processes, analog and digital manipulation, all forms welcome. Photographers of all skill levels and locations are welcome.

Our jurors for the Thoughts of Summer are Lisa Woodward and Mia Dalglish, the Co-Curators at Pictura. Motivated by a desire to create meaningful experiences with photographic art, collaboratively, they produce the gallery’s year-round programming. They work to generate thoughtful and nuanced exhibits, showcasing projects with strong formal sensibilities and depth of content.

They serve as portfolio reviewers for conferences and festivals such as FotoFest, Review Santa Fe, Photolucida, and Les Rencontres d’Arles. They also serve as jurors for photographic competitions and as guest critics for university classrooms.

Lisa and Mia have been known to finish each other’s sentences. Mia would like to thank Lisa for always having an emergency supply of snacks on hand. While usually a fan of brevity and economy, Lisa asserts that in this instance, two curators are better than one.

Prizes:

35-40 selected images will hang in the Virtual Gallery space for approximately one month. In addition, selected images are featured in the SE Center social media accounts (FB, IG, Twitter) and an archived, online slide show. A video walkthrough of each exhibition is also featured and archived..
