37th Annual Juried Photography Show
State of the Art Gallery (SOAG) is an artist-run cooperative gallery in Ithaca, New York. The Annual Juried Photography Show is its longest-running open call. The 2026 edition is the 37th cycle.
Up to $1,000 in cash prizes is awarded at the judge's discretion — there's no fixed first/second/third structure, leaving the prize judge to allocate as they see fit. AI-only generated images are not accepted, but post-production manipulation is acceptable if based on an original photographic process.
Accepted works must be matted, framed, and ready to hang. The gallery commission on sales is 30%. The exhibition runs May 28 – June 27, 2026; the awards ceremony is June 5.
Selection is by 3–5 SOAG artist members plus a separate (TBA) prize judge. Eligibility is open globally — original work not previously exhibited at SOAG, all photographic media. Submission is through EntryThingy, 1–4 images. Fee is $35. The 2026 deadline was May 1.
Jury: 3-5 SOAG artist members + TBA prize judge
