SUBMISSIONS
OPEN CALL, theme „UNSCRIPTED“ Deadline: October 11, 2026.
PURPLEHAZE Autumn–Winter 2026 Print Issue & Berlin Group Exhibition
The image does not always begin with intention, sometimes it forms in the space where control loosens, where timing overtakes composition, and where the frame captures more than it can contain.
UNSCRIPTED is the theme of our Autumn–Winter 2026 print issue and an offline group exhibition in Berlin, presented in collaboration with HAZEGALLERY. We invite photographers, painters, performance artists, installation artists, and image-makers of all kinds to respond to this theme.
We are looking for work that holds tension, presence, and unpredictability. We are drawn not only to the captured moment, but to work where the process, the material, or chance itself leads the artist toward a result that could not have been planned in advance. Staged or not, what interests us is whether the work carries the feeling of something uncontrolled, where construction disappears into presence, and what remains looks like it could not have been planned, even if it was.
Who can apply, open to artists worldwide, at any stage of their career. No agency or gallery representation required.
What to submit, up to 12 works or one cohesive series. Images as JPEG, resolution / min 2000px on the long edge, and/or a link to a portfolio or website. Include a short project statement of up to 150 words and a brief artist bio.
What selected artists receive, selected projects will appear in the Autumn–Winter 2026 printed edition of PURPLEHAZE and in an offline group exhibition in Berlin, presented in collaboration with HAZEGALLERY. Details on the exhibition date and venue to be announced.
Rights, by submitting, you grant PURPLEHAZE non-exclusive rights to reproduce selected work in the issue and in exhibition-related materials. All other rights remain with the artist.
Selection and timeline, work is reviewed jointly by the PURPLEHAZE editorial team and HAZEGALLERY, following a separate review timeline from our general submissions. Deadline: October 11, 2026. Selected artists notified by 15.10.2026. Exhibition date and venue to be announced.
Also accepted for the print issue: beyond the theme, we welcome fashion editorials and art projects for our other sections.

GENERAL SUBMISSIONS FOR WEB & IG FEATURES
Submissions to PURPLEHAZE are always free and considered equally for publication. Standard publishing placement is currently approximately 4–6 weeks due to our active editorial queue.
We review fashion editorials, photography, and visual projects that align with the magazine’s conceptual direction and aesthetic. Work should demonstrate visual coherence, intentional sequencing, and a clear narrative point of view.
We consider both new and previously shared work, depending on submission type. For fashion and beauty editorials, we require unpublished, exclusive material, for art and photography projects presented as an artist’s own practice, previously shared work is welcome, including pieces already on your own social channels; a post on your own account doesn’t count as publication. Selected projects will be scheduled for web & digital publication following editorial approval. For more information please see our general GUIDELINES.
At the initial stage, preview images and draft credits are sufficient. If selected, the editorial team will follow up with detailed specifications. Please submit via a Google Drive link with organised files and direct viewing access.
Editorial Review All submissions are reviewed through a merit-based process. Selection is based on conceptual strength, originality, and alignment with PURPLEHAZE. Submissions are free.
A limited number of extended editorial formats are available for selected projects and brands seeking expanded print or digital presence. These are independent of the selection process and apply only after editorial approval.
We appreciate the time and care behind every submission and look forward to reviewing your work.
