The AAP Magazine #41: B&W photography contest, hosted by All About Photo, invites photographers worldwide to submit their best black and white images. This contest, open to all, regardless of professional or amateur status, aims to celebrate the timeless beauty and emotional impact of black and white photography. Entries are accepted until the final deadline on July 9, 2024, with an entry fee of $30 for three images and $5 for each additional image, up to a maximum of 40 images.
Black and white photography has a unique ability to evoke emotions, create nostalgia, and highlight contrasts and lines, enhancing the power of light. This contest welcomes a variety of black and white photography styles, including photojournalism, street photography, artistic photography, portraits, nudes, landscapes, nature, wildlife, urban scenes, architecture, fashion, fine art, and documentary photography. Photographers are encouraged to submit a cohesive body of work or a unified portfolio, as only a unified group of photos will be published in AAP Magazine.
Winners will be awarded $1,000 in cash prizes, along with extensive recognition. The top three winners will have their work published in the AAP Magazine Volume 41: B&W, receive a free copy of the magazine, and have their portfolios showcased in the Winners Gallery on the All About Photo website. The first place winner will receive $500, the second place winner $300, and the third place winner $200. Additionally, the next seventeen finalists will have their best images or portfolios published in the magazine and showcased online.
Participation in these photo contests offers photographers important benefits, including the opportunity to elevate their careers. Winning images will be seen by editors, book publishers, gallery owners, festival directors, creative directors, curators, and online media publishers. All winning work will be permanently exhibited in All About Photo’s online gallery and promoted through international press exposure.
