Wildlife photography already carries immense power, but in monochrome it transforms into something raw and dramatic. The 2024 Monochrome Photography Awards showcased 37 breathtaking wildlife shots, proving black-and-white can rival or even surpass color. From roaring lions to towering elephants, sharp-winged birds, and tiny creatures full of attitude, each image tells a vivid story through light and shadow. Stripped of color, every texture and detail stands out with striking clarity, deepening the mood and amplifying the drama.

This year's Street and Travel category winners showcase how color, emotion, and timing can merge to create striking, cinematic moments from places like Lisbon's quiet alleys to Tokyo's electric streets. More than just a competition, the Chromatic Awards honor the art of color photography, welcoming both professionals and passionate hobbyists from around the globe. Each winning image tells a vivid story, capturing raw emotion and transporting viewers to distant cultures and landscapes.

The 2025 Natural Landscape Photography Awards have revealed a stunning array of winning images that honor the planet's untouched beauty. With over 11,000 submissions from 1,100 photographers across 64 countries, the competition upheld a strict no-editing policy, ensuring all entries were genuine in-camera captures. Australian photographer Joy Kachina earned the title of Photographer of the Year for her evocative portrayals of Tasmania's misty forests, praised for their emotional depth and grandeur.

The 2025 reFocus Photography Awards celebrate the art of visual storytelling, with black and white photography emerging as a powerful highlight. The 33 award-winning monochrome images reveal raw emotion, striking form, and masterful composition.
