The Mono Awards 2020 opens for entries

Our annual black and white photography competition, The Mono Awards, is now open for entries.

Run in partnership with Capture, and proudly presented by major sponsor DigiDirect and supporting sponsors Momento and Momento Pro, The Mono Awards 2020 is looking for the most talented black and white photographers in Australia and New Zealand.

For 2020, entrants will compete for a prize pool of $12,000, including $7,500 cash. 

Images will be judged by a panel of leading professional photographers, with the best images also published in Australian Photography and Capture magazines later in the year.

The 2020 edition of the competition brings with it a new category, Animal, open to images of both captive or wild animals.
