Competition Details

Following the success of its first edition, Carlotta Gallery is thrilled to invite photographers to submit work for “Dark Frames 2.” We’re seeking powerful black and white photography that delves into the subtleties of light, shadow, and form. In monochrome, the absence of color allows for a profound purity of expression.

Monochrome photography doesn’t merely ask for attention; it demands it. It thrives in quiet spaces, where every shade carries significance, every highlight is deliberate, and every shadow reveals a deeper part of the story. This call for entries challenges you to embrace restraint, to find the compelling eloquence that only black and white can truly deliver.

Show us how your unique vision transforms the world into a symphony of tones, where form and emotion speak loudest.

  • Respect for copyright: Organizers should acknowledge and respect the photographer’s ownership of their work.
  • Limited use: Usage rights should be limited to purposes directly related to the marketing/promotion of the competition, photos and photographers.
  • Specific Usage: Detailed information regarding where the images will be used for the promotion of the competition, this should include websites, social media, partners website, media outlets, books & calendars etc.
  • Moral Rights: Photographers should be credited whenever their images are used. This includes publication and Media not owned by the organiser. Editing and manipulation of the images should be kept to a minimum.
  • License Duration: The usage license should be limited in time with a maximum of 5 years, but ideally less.
  • Compensation: Photographers should be compensated for commercial use of their images beyond promotional purposes. This can be detailed in the terms or by a separate agreement.
