In March 2024, The Curve Archive held an open call for digital submissions for our 2024 Curve Photo Contest. We proudly followed the legacy of representation, self-expression, and creativity found in Curve magazine's lesbian life photo contests.

We invited community members to submit photos expressing who they are and how they self-identify, letting folks title their pictures by filling in the phrase "This Is What A ____ Looks Like." We hoped this would let people know that—in addition to lesbians—queer women, trans, non-binary folks, and others should feel encouraged to participate and are welcome in our Curve community. 

Congratulations to the three winners and two honorable mentions of this contest! We'll be sharing an exhibition of all submissions in time for Pride.
