PERSPECTIVE 2.0
Call For Entries
Following the grand success of our inaugural edition in 2019, VIBGYOR Photography is thrilled to announce the highly anticipated return of our flagship photography exhibition, PERSPECTIVE 2.0.
A photograph truly comes alive when it leaves the digital screen and takes its rightful place on a gallery wall. PERSPECTIVE 2.0 is a celebration of diverse visual storytelling, designed to give your art the premium, physical platform it deserves.
This is your opportunity to claim your space in our curated display zone, step out from behind the lens, and showcase your unique vision to the world. Whether you capture the raw beauty of the wild, the vibrant pulse of the streets, or the quiet intimacy of a macro shot, we invite you to let your work be experienced, admired, and celebrated by art lovers and fellow creators alike.
Our Story
VIBGYOR is a platform dedicated to exploring heritage, culture, and nature through the lens. In 2012, a few friends with a common nomadic mindset joined hands and commenced an unknown journey to capture newer geographies. Today, having successfully crossed our 300th initiative benchmark, we look back and deeply acknowledge the enthusiasm, love, and patronage we have received.
Our core philosophy remains unchanged: we are the same culture and heritage lovers, and the same travel maniacs. Our "craziness for colour" has only grown, becoming an integral part of our initiatives. Our ONLY mantra at heart is to “KNOW OUR OWN COUNTRY BETTER AND BE A PROUD INDIAN.” We encourage amateur photographers to kick-start their aspirations, guide travel enthusiasts to hidden destinations, and use photography as a medium for heritage awareness. Though our journey began in Kolkata, we now have active chapters in Mumbai and travel across India to promote art.
About PERSPECTIVE 2.0
Organized to commemorate World Art Day 2026 and celebrate our 14th Anniversary, PERSPECTIVE 2.0 is designed to attract both young, budding shutterbugs and seasoned artists. The name "Perspective" was specifically chosen to give due weightage to the viewpoint of a photographer, respecting the enthusiastic eye behind the camera.
We are incredibly grateful that our 2019 "Call for Entry" received a massive response, with 65 participants from 8 cities submitting nearly 950 images. For this second season, we have added a beautiful blend of knowledge sharing and inspiration to create a true photographic extravaganza.
Final display will be strictly limited to the top 100 images.
