Selected from hundreds of submissions from photographers across the globe, this issue showcases work from 11 countries spanning 4 continents. The winning series and single images reflect the many ways artists approach the theme of shape: some emphasize minimalism and balance, others explore repetition and symmetry, while many experiment with abstraction, perspective, and bold contrasts. The result is a dynamic and thought-provoking collection that underscores how shape can both anchor and disrupt composition.
This issue features the following artists:
First place winner: Julie Wang (United States),
Second place winner: JP Terlizzi (United States),
