By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/the-world-in-black-and-white-the-best-works-of-the-monovisions-2017-photo-contest.htmlOne 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.

This year, the main prize was awarded to Kars Tuinder for a photo of a fish market in Africa.
Anup Shah took the prize for a series of photographs called The Mara, shot in Kenya. "I think black and white photography conveys my feelings better. The black and white color reveals the content, lures the soul of the same wild animals."
