We would like to invite photographers for inclusion in the next SPACE Open Exhibition at the Orms Cape Town School of Photography this September. Find all the information and requirements for submissions here…

Update 30 August 2018: Submissions have now closed.

We are extremely excited to launch our second SPACE Open Exhibition for 2018! We’re starting our exhibition off with a bang and a new theme for you to really sink your teeth into! So once again we are offering you, our lovely photographic community the opportunity to submit your work! The show opens on September 6th and will feature 30 curated images selected by the Orms creative team, as always this will form part of The Orms Cape Town School of Photography exhibition that showcases the work of our full and part-time students.

Exhibition theme: Hit The Road

What does hitting the road mean to you? An escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, or that quiet stretch of tarmac that never ceases to revive and inspire your exhausted mind? The road could be a wide and open space taking you on new adventures and affecting changes in your life, or it could bring to mind that life-changing road trip you’ve taken. Whatever it means for you, we’d love to see your best images representing your ideas inspired by Hitting The Road.

The exhibition will open at the Orms Cape Town School of Photography on September 6th, 18h00 – 20h00. Everyone is most welcome, so please make a note in your diary, we would love to see you there.
