Photography Contests

2020 Black & White Smartphone

Submissions accepted from 04/20/20 to 06/30/20

The smartphone has revolutionized and popularized the art of taking photographic images, but not everybody can capture a scene worthy of the subject matter. We encourage you to record your favorite subjects with your smartphone and submit them for our new contest.

The winners will have their images featured in a new 160-page issue of Black & White devoted exclusively to contest winners. This special issue will be added to all subscriptions at no extra charge. We can accept only one entry per person with no more than ten photos per entry. Your entry must arrive by June 30 to be included.
