LensCulture’s Black & White Photography Awards is an international competition seeking photographers who work in monochrome, using classic, digital, or experimental techniques. The awards aim to celebrate the art and craft of black and white photography.
A total of 37 photographers will be recognized as winners, jurors’ picks, and finalists. The top winners will be featured in a group exhibition in New York, providing them with a unique opportunity to have their work seen by curators, editors, gallerists, and collectors, and to connect with a global community of photography experts and enthusiasts.
For two decades, LensCulture has been dedicated to supporting photographers of all levels in their creative and professional growth. Over this time, the platform has helped hundreds of photographers achieve career breakthroughs through their participation in the LensCulture community.
