What are we looking for?
Reckless is looking an array of images within the music photography world: concerts at established venues, backyard shows, tour documentation, backstage images, musician portraits, DIY venues, underground bands, mosh pits, stage dives, and so forth, from beginner to seasoned photographers.
We are drawn to images with energy, interesting compositions, beautiful lighting, drama, movement, emotions, and that are able to tell a story.
Although it is not a requirement, we’d love to receive submissions from and see images of communities that are underrepresented in the music industry, such as femmes, LGBTQIA+ individuals , and people of color.
Important Information
This is a 21+ event. The venue is 21+ so we are only accepting submissions from photographers who are 21 and older.
Submissions will be open from Monday March 31st to Friday April 11th at 11:59pm - no exceptions :)
There is NO submission fee - however, those selected will be asked to pay a $30 printing, hanging, and handling expense.
Photographs will be available to sell per photographer’s choice and photographers keep 100 % of sales.
Submitting your image does not gaurantee selection - we have limited spots available and unfortunately cannot accept everyone due to high volume of submissions
Any questions? Feel free to DM Reckless Magazine or email!
