WPGA - FotoNostrumA unique competition designed to celebrate the art of photography in both its vibrant color and its black and white forms, inviting photographers to showcase their talents in these two distinct but equally expressive mediums.
We are thrilled to announce the Color Photography Award, an exclusive opportunity for artists who master the language of colors in their work. This award celebrates the profound impact that color has in the world of photography, transcending mere aesthetics to evoke emotions and narrate stories. In the realm of photography, color is not just an element; it's a powerful tool that transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary, bringing life and depth to every captured moment. We invite you to showcase your talent and passion for color in this prestigious competition. Let your creativity shine through the lens and share how you harness the vibrant palette of the world to create striking, unforgettable images.
We also cordially invite you to register and join the Black & White Photography Award, a celebration that delves into the captivating world of monochromatic imagery. In this realm, the interplay of light and shadow, coupled with stark contrasts, crafts a narrative that transcends the ordinary. The absence of color in these works is not a hindrance but a gateway to artistic expression, where each image emerges as a testament to the timeless elegance, dramatic essence, and iconic stature of black-and-white photography. These photographs transcend the need for color, relying instead on the power of composition, the subtleties of texture, and the depth of emotions they encapsulate. The focus on intricate details, the range of tones from deep blacks to luminous whites, and the harmony of these elements, together weave a storytelling medium that is profound and resonates universally.
This award is an open call to unearth and applaud the expertise of color and black-and-white photographers from various cultures and experience levels. Our mission is to provide these artists with a global stage, where they can showcase their distinct visions and narratives through the lens of their cameras. The initiative is designed to not only recognize their artistic talent but also to offer transformative opportunities that could significantly shape their professional paths.
A pinnacle of these opportunities includes showcasing their work at an exhibition during The 8th Biennial of Fine Art & Documentary Photography. This event is anticipated to be a convergence of diverse, creative minds, offering a platform for photographers to share their passion, draw inspiration, and establish connections within the international photography community.
