前言
The connection of Black and White Photography with tradition and timeless values is beyond contestation. Since its infancy, black and white photography was not only the craft but primarily the art, where ideas conjured in the artist’s imagination is immortalized through the lens of their camera.
The Monochrome Awards is primarily aimed at people of whom photography is a passion and a way of life. It is a platform where professionals and amateurs can enter their shots amongst a sea of ambitious and creative community of photographers from around the world for a chance to win $3000 and an opportunity to show their work to an international audience.
Over a dozen categories allow entrants to specify definitions of photographic specializations and their large diversity allows adequate representation of photographers in several key areas. As a pillar and cradle of photography, Black and White photography is evidently a product of a great tradition. It requires experience, ability to discern dependencies and subtleties of tone, and most of all, imagination.
With Monochrome Awards, you can show your skills in traditional photography relying on plates and papers, or in the technique of wet collodion, as well as in digital technology. The creative process in black and white photography is extremely flexible. It allows you to present a single image countless times, often showing it in a different way. Only the ability to use a variety of shades of black and white, spreading from the confines of these two tones while enclosed in the perfect frame, allows the artist to achieve mastery.
黑白攝影與傳統和永恆價值觀的聯繫是無可爭辯的。從嬰儿期開始，黑白攝影就不僅是一門手藝，而且主要是一門藝術，藝術家想像中的想法通過他們的相機鏡頭永生不朽。

Monochrome Awards 主要針對那些將攝影作為一種激情和生活方式的人。在這個平台上，專業人士和業餘愛好者可以在來自世界各地雄心勃勃、富有創造力的攝影師社區中展示他們的作品，並有機會贏得3000 美元，並有機會向國際觀眾展示他們的作品。

十幾個類別允許參賽者指定攝影專業的定義，並且它們的多樣性允許在幾個關鍵領域充分代表攝影師。作為攝影的支柱和搖籃，黑白攝影顯然是一個偉大傳統的產物。它需要經驗、辨別依存關係和語氣微妙之處的能力，最重要的是，需要想像力。

通過單色獎，您可以展示您在依賴印版和紙張的傳統攝影、濕膠棉技術以及數字技術方面的技能。黑白攝影的創作過程非常靈活。它允許您無數次地展示同一張圖片，通常以不同的方式展示它。只有能夠使用各種黑色和白色的陰影，從這兩種色調的範圍內傳播，同時封閉在完美的框架中，藝術家才能達到精通。
