The Shape of a Life

Online juried photography exhibition from Decagon Gallery on the idea that a life is not defined by its milestones alone. The brief welcomes portraits, landscapes, interiors, gestures, and quiet everyday moments that reveal human experience with honesty and depth rather than surface description. Selected work is shown in a curated online exhibition with dedicated pages and published in a professionally designed exhibition catalog, alongside digital badges and certificates. Open to photographers worldwide; up to 4 images. First place receives $500, second $250, third $150, and two honorable mentions $50 each — $1,000 total in cash awards — plus a Human Presence Award granting free entry to a future exhibition.
