PARTENAIRES POUR LE CONCOURS B&W INTERNATIONAL PHOTO AWARDS 2026
Voici la liste de nos partenaires et associés pour l'édition 2026 du concours Black & White International Photo Awards.
Snap Collective is an innovative and unconventional publishing concept, founded by Dr. Philipp W. Müller, specifically designed to help to bring to life portfolios of international photographers and artists. The idea behind Snap Collective is to give artists a possibility to publish a photo book or a portfolio of their work without enormous efforts, offering a streamlined platform with some of the best printing and distribution partners, support of a design team and more.
Snap Collective is a diligent, creative and motivated team that respect the artist's vision and ensure an efficient, high-quality publication. Every service offered starts with an oral exchange with the photographer.
Snap Collective works with the Print-on-Demand technology, which means there is no financial risk involved and that allows artists to print books as they're ordered. The artist also receives a substantial discount on all the purchases.
For each book project, Snap Collective first creates a book cover and together with the artist launchs a pre-order campaign to determine if the book has a potential.
You can find more information about Snap Collective on their official website

PICTO is a family-owned company founded in 1950 by Pierre Gassmann, a key figure who worked with legendary photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa, and Robert Doisneau. From the very beginning, the lab became renowned for its ability to interpret images and provide photographers with exceptional artisanal expertise. For over 75 years, PICTO has evolved by embracing technological innovations—from traditional silver halide printing to pigment inkjet printing and direct printing on various materials—while remaining true to its original mission: understanding photographers’ expectations and delivering outstanding results.
Today, PICTO operates its main laboratory in Paris, with the historic Bastille site dedicated to photographic prints and another facility in Gennevilliers for large-format printing and finishing. The company has also expanded internationally with a laboratory in New York, opened more than ten years ago, to meet the needs of a global clientele. In addition, the PictoOnline platform, launched over 15 years ago, offers professional photographers a unique service combining artisanal expertise with cutting-edge technology, providing tailor-made solutions from printing to framing.
When it comes to printing techniques, PICTO offers two complementary processes: Lambda silver halide printing, which provides beautiful tonal contrast and an authentic analog look at an affordable cost, and pigment inkjet printing, which delivers exceptional precision, a wider color gamut, and excellent longevity. Each technique has its advantages, and the choice depends on the artistic project and desired finish. To assist photographers, PICTO provides sample packs and recommends small-format test prints before final production. Finally, the lab offers personalized support, either remotely or on-site, to help creators plan and produce their exhibitions under the best possible conditions.
