About the theme
Moments of Life is about the moments that make a life: everyday scenes, turning points, private memories and shared experience.
Any medium is welcome. We look for work with a personal point of view — a story, an emotion or a perspective that the viewer can recognise — judged on theme, quality and technical skill.

Frequently asked questions
How often does Moments of Life run?
The theme returns roughly once a year. Each edition has its own deadline and results page.
Is it free to enter?
Entry terms are set for each edition and shown on its page. Recent Curatone calls are free to enter, with a one-time finalist fee only if the jury selects your work.
Does the work have to be autobiographical?
No. The moment can be your own, someone else’s or imagined, as long as the work makes it felt.
