Documentary Photography

For monochrome photographic work rooted in real life, observation, people, places, events, memory, social context or everyday experience.

This category is for photographers who use their cameras to witness, record, and interpret the world.

We value honesty, visual clarity, human presence and the strength of the story behind the image.

Conceptual Photography

For monochrome photographic work built around an idea.

This category includes staged photography, symbolic work, visual essays, constructed images, self-initiated projects and experimental photographic approaches.

We value intention, authorship, formal control and the ability to turn an idea into a precise image.
