Photography Contests

Following on the popularity and acclaim of our broad-based Single Image and Portfolio contests, we created this reader-inspired competition comprised of four tightly focused sub-contests that feature traditional and contemporary processes—both analog and digital—and imagery that spans the past, the present and the future. The categories are:

Vintage Images
Pinhole/Plastic Camera Imagery
Digital Manipulation
Alternative Darkroom Processes

The specific focus of each contest narrows the competitive field and thereby increases the chance that your image will be chosen. The winners are not featured in a standalone Special Issue. They instead receive prominent representation in one of the four regular issues of Black & White in self-contained 16-page contest sections. The added pages provide valuable exposure for your award-winning images, as well as an added bonus for our readers.
