We invite all lovers of street photography to come and meet us on Saturday, November 14th during the opening reception which will start at 6 p.m. at la galerie Joseph Minimes, 16 rue des Minimes, 75003, Paris in order to celebrate together the talent and creativity of the artists exhibited.
For exhibiting photographers who are automatically invited, and those who choose to travel to meet us in Paris during the opening reception, we would like to point out that they will have the opportunity to come along with the people of their choice from their family or friends, with no restriction on numbers.

In addition to the physical exhibition taking place in our gallery, we have invited a limited number of photographers, who received an honorable mention from our previous jury, to also participate with us on a 140cm diagonal 4k digital screen. Their photos will be displayed 8 hours a day during the 3 days of the event.
The call for entries for the Black & White International Photo Awards competition is currently closed.
For your information, each year, starting in the first week of January, the competition reopens for a new edition. The next call for entries will therefore take place in the first week of January 2027.
The B&W IPA is a photography competition dedicated to the discipline of black and white. Monochrome is therefore the only criterion to consider when entering.
Photographers from all over the world can compete in various categories of our competition, as long as the work is exclusively in black and white.
The competition jury is announced one month before the competition opens, in December of each year. Most of the jury members change from year to year.
In addition to receiving a $2,000 cash prize, the finalist winners of the competition will have their work exhibited at a unique annual event organized by the competition team in an iconic location that is generally announced before the start of the competition.
Don't wait! You can register now and prepare your file for the next edition of our competition, the call for applications for which will open in January 2027.
