Black & White Exhibit Competition

Submit your best photography showcasing Black & White Photography. Top images from this juried competition will be exhibited at venues around Northwest Arkansas.

Often an image without color can take on a more powerful appeal. It can emphasize contrast and lighting as well as shadow. Be creative and enter your best Black & White images for the PSNWA 2022 First Quarter Exhibit Competition.

Your images will be evaluated by a panel of three judges for impact, subject, composition, and technical mastery.

DEADLINE: April 11, 2022
PRIZE: $100 Bedford Camera and Video gift certificate. Top 12 images will be included in the Exhibit Presentation.
