AAP Magazine – B&W

All About Photo Magazine invites dedicated and passionate photographers from all around the world to share their work in their printed edition.

Overview

Each issue is central to a specific theme and provides a gallery of inspiring imagery, focusing on each artist with their own experience to share. With an eye towards beauty, quality and novelty, they strive to promote portfolios that stand out for their unique visual signature style and character. Their goal is to help photographers get the exposure they deserve and to inspire others with ideas, projects and goals to help develop their own photography.

Practical Info

Black and white photography evokes timeless poetry, nostalgia, and emotional depth. By removing color, monochrome photography emphasizes contrast, composition, texture, light, and form, revealing the pure essence of the subject. This enduring photographic style continues to inspire photographers across genres and generations.

This black and white photography contest is open to all interpretations of monochrome photography, including but not limited to photojournalism, street photography, documentary photography, portraiture, nude photography, landscape photography, wildlife, urban photography, architecture, fashion photography, and fine art photography.

Applicants are invited to submit a cohesive body of work or photographic portfolio, consisting of at least 3 images that clearly belong together as a unified series or project (connected by subject, style, or idea); submissions are expected to be presented as a series rather than single images, and any images previously published in AAP Magazine are not eligible for submission.

The award is open to professional and amateur photographers from all over the world who are invited to send up to 40 images. You can take advantage of the Early Bird Deadline due on 15 May.

1st place winner will receive a cash prize of $500 and will have a full portfolio published in AAP Magazine Volume 58: B&W; 2nd place winner will receive a cash prize of $300; and 3rd place winner will receive a cash prize of $200. The next twenty-three winners (ranked from 4 to 25) will have their best image(s) or portfolio featured in AAP Magazine Volume 58: B&W.
