June 23, 2021 By PhotoContest.org Leave a Comment

MILWAUKEE – The annual monochrome awards were announced, with Loretta Kryshak receiving honorable mention for her black-and-white photograph, “Untitled.” The photo focuses on empty theater seats during the pandemic and highlights that theater seats were suspended throughout 2020. The Monochrome Awards are renowned for giving amateurs and professionals the chance to showcase their work to an international audience and the possibility of winning 3,000 dollars.

The Monochrome awards are an international black-and-white photography contest that celebrates the connections between photography, tradition, and values. The awards celebrate photographers who utilize their passion for capturing the world around them.

The winners of this year’s event included “Opponents” by Ksystof Mozyro and “Portrait Woman Mursi” by SVETLIN YOSIFOV. “Opponents” focuses on a protest on June 6th in London, and “Portrait” presents a woman from an isolated Omo Valley in Southern Ethiopia.

Loretta Kryshak’s photo highlights the odd reality of pandemic life and how the virus changed one of the more popular forms of entertainment. Her previous work focused on capturing day-to-day life. She has traveled across the globe photographing the seemingly mundane. “My goal is that my photographs tell a story… My process is looking past the familiar using close observation and preparation of the subject. I try to see beyond the obvious to capture its unique self. Some of my subjects are pretty striking, others less so. My hope is to encourage those who see my work, look more carefully around them, to find inspiration in unusual places,” states Loretta Kryshak on her website.

There are more than a dozen entry categories for the Monochrome awards, including everything from photojournalism to photomanipulation and wildlife. Black-and-white photography has a rich tradition. However, success in this medium requires expertise and imagination. Therefore, entries into the contest are not limited to traditional photography techniques, as entries using plates, papers, wet collodion, and digital technology are welcome.

The 2020 winners and honorable mentions can be found at https://monoawards.com/.
