LensCulture Black & White Photography Awards 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. If you are committed to the art and craft of black and white, we invite you to share your vision with us.
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.
