Submit your work today to The Car Show - 50th Anniversary Online Exhibition

Submission Deadline: Thu, Jan 15 by 4:59 PM (PT)

Exhibition Launch: Thu, Feb 5, 2025

Entry Fee: Free

VROOM VROOM, The Car Show returns!

This open call invites contemporary visions of cars: icons, memories, and motion. A new iteration of the original Blue Sky Car Show from 1981, the exhibition revisits the automobile as a cultural symbol and reimagines it through today’s photographic lens.

We encourage you to send us up to three of your favorite car photos by Thu, Jan 15 at 4:59 PM (PT). The show will be juried by Chris Rauschenberg and will be published on Thu, Feb 5, 2026. We look forward to seeing your submissions!

In October 1975, five unemployed but passionate photographers envisioned a $40/month, 125 sq ft storefront as a space to exhibit photography. 50 years and more than 1,000 solo exhibitions and 60 group shows later, Blue Sky Gallery is celebrating its legacy with a new online exhibition series: 12 themed online open calls, one for each month of our 50th anniversary year.
