We are looking for the best in contemporary black & white photography. The competition is open to all and pictures can be taken on any kind of camera.

For the overall title of Black+White Photographer of the Year 2015 we want to see three pictures that relate to each other in style and content.

For our category prizes we want to see single images on the following themes:
• People (from portraits to street photography)
• Natural World (landscapes, seascapes and wildlife)
• Documentary (reportage, documentary, photojournalism)
• Black+White at its Best (all other styles – including architecture, still life, sport and experimental work)
• Emerging Talent (any style by photographers aged 25 or under)

The winners will be invited to an awards ceremony at Leica’s prestigious studios in London and the winning pictures will be exhibited at the Leica Studios and then at theprintspace in London. They will also be published in Black+White Photography magazine.
