light

A Smith Gallery is a photography gallery in Johnson City, Texas, that runs themed juried exhibitions on a recurring schedule. The 'light' call is the gallery's exhibition for work where light functions as the key element of the photograph — its presence, behavior, and quality as subject rather than as a technical condition.

Forty-seven images are selected for the physical exhibition at the gallery, running May 8 – June 18, 2026.

Selection is by Elizabeth Avedon, curator and photography book designer.

AI-generated work is not accepted. Eligibility is open globally. Submission is through the gallery's website with unlimited images per applicant. Fee is $40. The 2026 deadline was April 13; results announced April 24, 2026.
