Want your photos seen in a juried gallery show? Submit a cohesive black-and-white series to Black Box Gallery’s Camera Work: Black and White - explore monochrome storytelling, sharpen your portfolio, and connect with an international community of photographers through digital entry.
Black Box Gallery’s Black and White Photography Competition is a juried group photo show focused on monochrome imagery. The theme, “Camera Work: Black and White,” invites photographers to submit work that explores the classic, nostalgic, and contemporary possibilities of black-and-white photography.
The contest is open to photographers worldwide and is designed for artists working in photography, especially those with cohesive or thoughtfully composed image sets. Entries are submitted digitally by email, with the competition setting technical requirements for file format, size, and image resolution.
Selected photographers will be included in an exhibition at Black Box Gallery in Portland, Oregon. The prize also includes free framing, matting, and printing provided by the gallery, making the exhibition a strong opportunity for visibility and professional presentation.
