see-zeen Issue 20 Open Call

see-zeen is an independent online photography magazine curating contemporary work by international emerging artists, based in New York and Berlin. The magazine accepts open submissions for ongoing issues — Issue 20 is the current cycle.

There is no thematic restriction. Submissions may span any photographic approach: portraiture, landscape, documentary, fashion, abstraction, experimental, conceptual, or hybrid practices. The framing is unusually inclusive and the magazine emphasizes work from emerging photographers globally.

Selected work is published on the see-zeen website and across the magazine's social media channels. Submissions not selected for full publication are still considered for inclusion on the magazine's Instagram account. Photographers retain copyright on all submitted work.

Submission is free. Eligibility is open to photographers 18 and over from anywhere in the world. Each submission is a series of 6 to 15 images, in JPG format, maximum 2500 pixels on the longest side, 72dpi sRGB. Required materials: project statement (max 300 words), brief work description (max 100 words), photographer bio with email, and website/Instagram links if available. The Issue 20 deadline is May 27, 2026.
