“Decagon Gallery invites photographers worldwide to submit to our upcoming online exhibition, Patterns in the Wild — a visual exploration of the rhythm and repetition that surrounds us in natural and urban environments.
Whether found in the fractals of a fern, the geometry of city grids, the textures of rust and decay, or the symmetry in animal markings — patterns speak a universal language. They reveal order in chaos, beauty in randomness, and design where we least expect it.”
First Place receives $500 cash prize and an online Solo exhibition. Second and Third Place winners receive cash prizes of $300 and $200, respectively.
Submissions close July 31st

This stunning anthology explores the many shades of “blue” — from the depths of the ocean to the vastness of the sky, from the serenity of twilight to the melancholy of a storm.
Featuring poetry and visual art inspired by nature’s most evocative hue, “Blue” captures the essence of water, air, emotion, and the ever-changing world around us. Each piece, whether a lyrical meditation on a quiet lake or a vibrant painting of a coastal horizon, invites readers to immerse themselves in the beauty, mystery, and depth of the color blue.
