CallForEntries — an international platform for competitions and open calls with open access
The platform is chosen by artists and photographers who want to quickly find international competitions and apply directly, without registration or payment barriers. The platform has been in existence for over ten years and is used as a reliable source of regularly updated opportunities.
Open catalogue without registration
The key difference of CallForEntries is its completely open access. Viewing announcements remains free for artists and photographers, without the need to create an account. This makes the platform convenient for initial searches, comparing projects, and submitting one-time applications.
International opportunities and wide coverage
Most of the listings are related to the United States and Europe, but the catalogue regularly features offers from other regions, as well as online formats and international initiatives. The platform is suitable for authors working in various media, from painting and photography to digital art and video.
Clear structure and convenient filters
The catalogue is organised by project type and artistic genre: competitions, exhibitions, residencies, grants, festivals; painting, photography, sculpture, digital art, video. Additional filters allow you to sort announcements by deadline, cost of participation, and submission format, which makes it easier to navigate even with a large volume of publications.
Direct submission without unnecessary steps
Each card contains a brief description of the project, requirements, deadlines, and a direct link to the organiser’s website. This allows you to quickly assess the relevance of the opportunity and proceed to submit your application without any intermediate forms or internal systems.
Paid model — for organisers
The platform uses a transparent model: artists submit their work for free, and paid tools are primarily intended for organisers of competitions and exhibitions who want to increase the visibility of their announcements. This approach supports equal access to opportunities and the sustainable operation of the resource.
Who is the platform suitable for
It is particularly useful for artists and photographers who regularly apply for international open calls and prefer to work with an open, frequently updated catalogue. The platform is also used by galleries, cultural institutions and educational organisations. The English-language interface is intuitive and requires no additional training.
