The Fifth Edition of the Monochromatic Awards Is Now Open
To take part in the fifth edition of the Monochromatic Awards, dedicated to the best monochromatic photography of 2026, click here.
This competition is open to all interpretations of monochromatic photography: from traditional black and white to grayscale, sepia, cyanotype, or any other variation based on a single tone. What matters is how you use that limitation to build an image.
Photographers from all genres and backgrounds are welcome to participate. Beyond category, we are looking for work with a clear vision and a defined intention.
The winner will be recognized as Photographer of the Year and, together with the finalists, will be included in the annual Monochromatic Book. This publication brings together an international selection of works, carefully edited and presented, creating a coherent body that reflects what is happening in monochromatic photography today.
Rather than a fleeting appearance, the book offers a lasting format where the work can be seen with the time and attention it requires. Each project is placed in relation to others, generating dialogue and reinforcing its context within a broader contemporary landscape.
More than visibility, it provides positioning. A space where the work is not consumed quickly, but considered, revisited, and remembered.
Join this fifth edition and present your work in a context where what matters is not quantity, but consistency, intention, and the way an image holds its presence over time.
