CALM & CLEAR: Minimalism Photography Contest

In a world full of noise, minimalism invites us to slow down and focus on what truly matters.
In Calm & Clear: Minimalism Photography Contest, we celebrate simplicity, balance, and visual quiet — images where less truly becomes more.

We’re looking for photographs that feel clean, intentional, and uncluttered. Whether it’s a single subject in open space, a simple architectural form, a quiet landscape, or an everyday object reduced to its essence, show us how minimalism can be powerful, emotional, and beautiful.

Strong composition, thoughtful use of negative space, and a clear visual idea are key. Color or black & white, abstract or realistic — all approaches are welcome, as long as the image communicates calm, clarity, and simplicity.

What We’re Looking For

Minimal composition — clean frames with a clear subject and no visual clutter
Use of negative space — space as an active part of the composition
Strong visual idea — simple concepts executed with intention
Calm & clarity — images that feel quiet, balanced, and visually restful
Any subject, any style — architecture, objects, landscapes, people, abstract or realistic
