About This Opportunity

Decagon Gallery invites global photographers to submit to _Forgotten Architecture_, a juried online exhibition exploring the haunting beauty of abandoned and neglected structures. Capture architectural decay, urban ruins, or interiors echoing with silence.

Discover the poetic resonance of abandonment—buildings overtaken by nature, interiors weathered by time, and spaces echoing with absence. Documentary and interpretive photographs are equally welcome.

**Juror:** Andrew Moore

Andrew Moore is widely acclaimed for his long term photographic series, which record the effect of time on the natural and built landscape.
