Compete Monochrome: Light, Shadow, Form, and Texture
Opportunity Description
International Deadline: September 8, 2025 – In a world saturated with color, there is something timeless and powerful about the monochrome image. Stripped to its essentials—light, shadow, form, and texture—black-and-white photography invites us to see differently. It distills the world into tone and emotion, allowing mood and meaning to rise to the surface.
For this PhotoPlace Gallery juried exhibition, we seek photographs that celebrate the monochrome palette in all its forms—from deep blacks to silvery grays, soft sepias to high-key whites. Whether analog or digital, documentary or abstract, we welcome images that embrace the expressive range of monochrome photography.
All photographic styles and processes are welcome.
On display: November 7 – November 28, 2025.
SELECTIONS
We are honored to have Jason Landry as the juror for Monochrome. He will select up to 35 images in our Middlebury, Vermont Exhibition gallery and another 40 images for our Online Gallery. All 75 images will be reproduced in the exhibition catalog and remain permanently on our website, and be promoted on social media with links to photographers’ URL.
Exhibition: June 23 – July 22, 2022.
