Call for submissions for the International Open Exhibition
THE ANIMAL #2
"Animal-themed exhibition"
This popular event, which was held 10 years ago, will be held again.
We are looking for "casual photos" taken with your mobile phone (smartphone). Photos of the first sunrise of the year, landscapes, delicious food, rare moments, and cute photos of cats and dogs are all welcome. It doesn't have to be a special photo. Just show us a "nice moment" that suddenly appears in your daily life. That photo may gently warm someone's heart.
410Gallery
