Vintage Camera Show Call for Entries – DEADLINE 9/20/25

September 20, 2025 is the last day for Submissions for Oct. 25 Vintage Camera Show at the Altadena Library.

​The Altadena Photographers Recovery invites submissions for our upcoming Vintage Camera Show & Pop-Up Exhibition, a community event highlighting the resilience and creativity of our community after the Eaton and Palisades Fires. We are seeking work that celebrates analogue photography and the spirit of renewal.

Submission Criteria: Work must be created using film, vintage cameras, or alternative photographic processes (cyanotype, tintype, Polaroid, darkroom prints, etc.).

Subject matter should connect to life in Altadena/Palisades after the fires—images of recovery, resilience, renewal, or community stories. Black & white and color works welcome. Open to professional and emerging photographers.

Approximately, when was the worked created? *

We recognize that many Altadena photographers lost portfolios, archives, and tools of their craft in the fire. We invite photographers to share new work created after the fire—whether it reflects recovery, resilience, memory, or simply the everyday view of life now. Your contribution does not need to be polished or part of a large body of work—every photograph, whether professional or personal, carries meaning.

Work medium *

35mm, Large format, Cyanotype, medium format, cyanotype, etc. Include the camera, film, process you used.

Work dimensions *

(H x W x D) Not to exceed 24″ x 30″. Larger works will be considered as space permits.

Are there any special hanging instructions or additional details?

Will you need any assistance in printing the work?
