BWA PRESS RELEASE
The cultural organization “Immagine latente” is launching for the first time an
INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION ENTIRELY DEDICATED to BLACK
and WHITE PHOTOGRAPHY. !Candidates are called to enter their images in ANALOGUE or in DIGITAL
format. Digital pictures will not necessarily have to be shot with cameras (as also
pictures shot with any digital device will be accepted).
ROME will be both the departure and the arrival of the context as the first prize
winners will be awarded trip and/or accommodation ! in the city. Through the use of photography’s universal language the Black and White
International Photography Award Rome aims to promote the dialogue
among different cultures and people.
Furthermore the goal is to enhance on a large scale the divulgation and
rediscovery of black and white art, a source of beauty and evocative power
able to give immortality to images and to express every day life intensity and
f!eelings. The Black&White International Award has deliberately chosen to exclude
specific topics to give the contest a wider range and allow full freedom of
expression to all participants.

form and content. Members of the jury are expecting to receive high technical,
compositional, content and emotional quality images.
