  • Theme: JOY

    The Click! Photography Festival invites photographers of all experience levels to submit original images for JOY, a unique photography exhibition in and around storefronts at City Market in Raleigh, North Carolina. We welcome all genres of photography— from documentary and street photography to portraits, landscapes, abstract work, and experimental imagery—that explore, interpret, or evoke the many expressions of joy.

    This is an opportunity to share your vision with festival attendees and the broader community while transforming downtown City Market into an immersive gallery of photographic art.

    All photographic techniques and processes are welcome; however, AI-generated images are not eligible for submission.

    Join us in creating a celebration of joy through the power of photography.
