LensCulture is calling for entries to the annual Black & White Photography Awards, now seeking the best work from 2025.
LensCulture Black & White Photography Awards seek photographers worldwide who work in monochrome — whether through classic processes, digital techniques, or experimental approaches that expand the language of grayscale.
A total of 37 photographers will be recognized as winners, jurors’ picks, and finalists, with the top winners featured in a group exhibition in New York — reaching curators, editors, gallerists, and collectors. This is a unique opportunity to have your work seen, celebrated, and connected to a worldwide community of photography experts and enthusiasts.
Winning photographers will be exhibited at a gallery in New York during The Photography Show (Spring 2026), the eminent photo fair that brings together hundreds of galleries, publishers and collectors, as well as an ambitious program of exhibitions, conversations, artist book signings and curated fair events.
LensCulture is one of the most comprehensive and far-reaching resources for discovering contemporary photography talent around the world. Over 20 years, LensCulture has built a global online audience of more than three million photography makers, lovers and thinkers from 160 countries and we’re proud to offer career-changing opportunities through our photography awards, exhibitions in leading cities, festival screenings, and books.
