We invite you to participate in the third edition of the Monochromatic Awards. we are looking for the best monochrome picture for this year, 2024. The contest is open to any interpretation of monochromatic photography, black and white, grayscale, sepia, or any type of tone. All the different photographic genres have their place in the Monochromatic Awards, photojournalism, portrait, nude, architecture, landscape, wildlife, abstraction, experimental, street photography, still life, artistic photography, or alternative processes. We look forward to seeing images with unique points of view and innovative approaches, as well as images that go within the more traditional ways of monochrome photography. We believe that monochrome photography is truly unique, it is timeless, endowed with classic tints from when photographers only had this possibility, focused on shapes and tones as the only tool to captivate the viewer, to tell a story, or simply to capture an everyday reality. After 10 years of promoting talented photographers, we have designed the Monochromatic Awards to discover incredible images and photographers who wish to take a step up in their careers through recognition and international visibility that only the Monochromatic Awards can give them. Your images need to be seen and we will make it happen. We want you to show us your work so we can show it to the world. The call is open to all amateur or professional photographers over 18 years old and from all over the world. An international jury composed of Anne Lena, Programs Director of the prestigious World Press Photo contest; Darren Ching, director of Klompching Gallery in New York; Enrico Stefanelli, director of PhotoLux Festival; Regina Anzenberger, director of Anzenberger Gallery; and the management team of Dodho Magazine will select the images and photographers awarded in this third edition of the Monochromatic Awards. The winner of the competition will receive the title of Photographer of the Year and a cash prize, in addition to being published in a place of honor in the annual Monochromatic Awards book, along with the 100 finalists, the second and third place winners, and two honorable mentions. Additionally, the top 25 images will be exhibited for one year in our online gallery, which receives thousands of visits from industry professionals.
