Beyond Themes

START YOUR SUBMISSION

28 November 2025 - 05 January 2026

Online Group Exhibition

Every image begins with a question: What happens when there are no rules?

“Beyond Themes” is an open invitation to explore photography in its purest form — free from definitions, expectations, or categories. We’re looking for works that reflect your personal vision, emotion, and imagination, whether they follow a concept or defy one entirely.

There are no boundaries to what you can submit: abstract or documentary, portrait or landscape, minimalist or maximalist, analog or digital. What matters is authenticity — the power of your gaze and the story behind it.

This is a global open call for photographers of all levels — professionals, emerging artists, and passionate creators alike. Every perspective adds to the visual dialogue we aim to build through “Beyond Themes.”

Why Join Aurea Photo Gallery?

Being featured in Aurea Photo Gallery means joining a space where photography is curated with care, design, and meaning.

Beyond curation, our main goal is to create real online visibility for photographers — beyond Instagram.
We know how challenging it has become to gain reach and engagement on social media. That’s why we focus on building a dedicated, well-designed website that enhances each artist’s presence, discoverability, and SEO ranking.

Your work deserves to be seen — not lost in the scroll.
