We’re accepting submissions of up to 25 images for a new photobook & exhibition curated by Subjectively Objective founder & chief curator Noah Waldeck. The Submissions Deadline has been extended until September 14th. We always accept free submissions, but the purpose of running this call is to raise the funds necessary to produce a high quality photobook. The submission fee goes directly towards creating the best possible book. Even if you’ve already submitted (or we’ve already featured your work), please submit to this call if you would like the opportunity to be part of the book & exhibition. If you can’t afford the submission fee, please contact me and we’ll figure something out.

Everyone who submits will receive a $25 credit towards purchasing the resulting book, regardless of whether their work is accepted. Accepted artists will appear in the book, online exhibition, and physical exhibition at Subjectively Objective’s Detroit area gallery space. Our primary focus is on contemporary landscape and documentary photography, but even if your work falls outside of that, please don’t hold back from submitting. Even if we don’t find a place for your work in this book, we’ll be looking for every opportunity to use it for something else, including our Substack Features, Instagram Features, Mini and Monthly Monograph Magazines, and maybe even a future survey book.

This call is the follow up to our previous book & exhibition call for entries: Investigations In Infrastructure, Everything Is Narrative, Observations In The Ordinary, and The Vernacular Of Landscape. Those calls resulted in survey books featuring 516 artists, physical exhibitions in Detroit and NYC, numerous online exhibitions and Instagram features, 47 of Subjectively Objective’s monograph magazines, and 4 full size monographs for the artists who submitted their work. In the past we’ve received so much great work that it’s never possible to include everything, so even if you’ve submitted before, we’d absolutely love to see your work again!

Once you’ve paid your submission fee, you’ll be able to download a PDF which provides further instructions on the submissions process.
