About this call

Global Connection

Exploring visual stories of human ties across cultures, communities and the natural world.

In a world marked by differences and complexity, we invite photographers to explore what connects us across borders, cultures, and experiences. Global Connection calls for visual stories that reveal the threads of humanity that transcend boundaries — in gestures of care, resilience, belonging, identity, and shared presence.

How do we express connection across distances? Where do we find unity in today’s multifaceted world? We seek photographs that reflect human ties: between people, between cultures, and between ourselves and the natural world.

We welcome submissions that range from documentary to conceptual, from poetic to political. Portraits, moments of daily life, visual metaphors of connection, or scenes of cultural exchange — all are invited, as long as they contribute to a broader reflection on the meaning and experience of global connection today.

Selected works will be featured in Artdoc Photography Magazine and online exhibitions curated from this open call.
