The world in black and white: the best works of the MonoVisions 2017 photo contest

Categories: Culture

One of the leading photography magazines MonoVisions organized the MonoVisions Photography Awards photo contest to give both amateur and professional photographers an opportunity to introduce the world to the best black and white works.

The works were accepted in 12 categories, ranging from conceptual and nude photographs, ending with shots from wildlife and architecture. Awards were awarded both to individual works and to series devoted to the same topic. The winner, who will receive the main prize — five thousand dollars, was chosen by a jury consisting of photographers, critics and gallery owners from four thousand submitted works.
