CODE ORANGE is a recent added Artillery feature, a web-based, issue-oriented photography contest curated by LA artist and photographer Laura London. Winning entries will be published in upcoming issues of the magazine, and finalists will appear online. CODE ORANGE is a documentary project and outlet for artists to express how they feel about the current state of the world. Tumultuous times like ours have historically produced some of the most profound, captivating and timeless art; we hope to find and share similar works today. Images submitted should capture how our country and the world is affected by political and environmental change.

Curator Laura London selects 12 photos that will appear on our website, and the winner’s photo to be published in our bi-monthly print edition of Artillery.

DEADLINE for next contest is June 8, 2018
