BNW IPA 2026 – L'Exposition Incontournable !

Pour rappel la conclusion de l'appel à candidature Black & White International Photo Awards s’est soldée par la publication des résultats début Avril dernier avec la consécration de trois grands lauréats : Zdenek Dvorak, Alessandro Manzotti et Jabin Botsford en plus d’une dizaine de finalistes.



Nous donnons donc rendez-vous à tous les amoureux de la photo noir et blanc à venir nous rencontrer le Vendredi 13 Novembre durant le vernissage d'ouverture qui démarrera à 18h à la galerie Joseph Minimes au 16 rue des Minimes, 75003, Paris afin de célébrer ensemble le talent et la créativité des artistes exposés.

Pour les photographes exposants qui sont automatiquement invités, et ceux qui font le choix de se déplacer pour venir nous rencontrer à Paris lors du vernissage d'ouverture, nous précisons que ces derniers auront la possibilité à leur tour de venir accompagner avec les personnes de leur choix parmi leur cercle familial ou amical sans restriction de nombre.

 

Calendrier et dates clés de l'exposition BNW IPA :

- 12 Novembre : Accrochage des tirages et des cadres au mur (non ouvert au public)
- 13 Novembre : Vernissage d'ouverture à 18h en présence des photographes
- 14 Novembre : Ouverture de l'exposition de 11H à 19H pour le grand public
- 15 Novembre : Dernier Jour (ouverture de 11H à 19H). Décrochage et retrait des cadres des murs à partir de 18h

 

 

 

En plus de l'exposition physique qui aura lieu dans notre galerie, nous avons invité un nombre limité de photographes, ayant reçu une mention honorable de notre précédent jury, à participer aussi avec nous sur un écran digital 4k d'une diagonale de 140cm. Leurs photos défileront 8h par jour durant les 4 jours de l'événement.

 




 

Next B&W IPA OPEN CALL :

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.

FAQ - QUESTIONS FRÉQUEMMENT POSÉES

Can I enter images that I have entered in other competitions ?
Yes, images entered in other competitions are eligible.
Is there a time limit on when the photograph was taken ?
There are no restrictions.
Why is it important to correctly fill out your Instagram account ?
In addition to emails that can sometimes end up in the spam folder, it is always useful for us to have a second channel of communication with the photographer. If the latter is a winner, finalist or medalist, we will be able to contact him more easily so that he can collect his award more quickly or participate with us in one of our exhibitions, whose organizational requirements often require responsiveness and a quick response time.
Is there a limit to the number of photos that I can enter ?
Yes, you are limited to 7 photos maximum per series. If you want to submit more photos you can choose the extended serie wich extends the limit to 15 photos maximum. But you can enter an unlimited number of series or single entry.
Can I enter an image that has been published ?
Both published and unpublished work is accepted.
Are AI-generated images allowed ?
Yes, as long as they are submitted in the specific category entitled « Photomanipulation / AI »
How can I pay my entry fees ?
You can pay by PayPal or Credit/Debit Card (via PayPal or Stripe). All payments are processed in EUR currency.
What is considered as a series ?
A series consists of at least 5 and no more than 7 or 15 images (depending on if you choose to submit an extended serie or not), sharing a common theme and a single title. Series will be judged as an entire piece.
Are digital adjustments allowed ?
Photoshop and post processing techniques are allowed, although within reason and taste.
