The Theme for July & August: Black and White
How you interpret the subject or composition is completely up to you. As long as your image is in black and white, anything goes!
Two-Month Challenge: Please note that due to summer holiday this challenge spans both July and August.
Submission & Display: You can submit your entry starting today! Images will be uploaded to the website manually as soon as possible.
Permissions: If your submitted image features recognizable people, please ensure you have the proper model release or permission to use their likeness.
Voting: The voting phase will officially begin on September 1st. Before voting opens, I will rearrange the pictures and assign each one a number. You will be able to select your 5 favorites through the then available voting form.
Check the gallery below to see all submitted images so far.
Join the Monthly Photography Challenge
Every month, I host a photography challenge via my YouTube channel and this website. On this page, you can view all submitted images and vote for your favorites once the challenge period has concluded.
At the end of each month, I will showcase and discuss the 10 most-voted images in a dedicated YouTube video. My own submissions will be included anonymously, and alongside the top 10, I will feature three randomly selected images and reveal which one was mine.
How to Participate If you would like to join this month’s challenge, please submit your image using the form below.
You may submit one image per challenge.
Please ensure your images do not include watermarks or names.
Once the submission period ends, voting will open on this page, and the next challenge will be announced on YouTube and this website.
There is nothing to win or lose—these challenges are purely for fun and for learning from one another. I am looking forward to seeing your entries, so please feel free to be as creative as you like!
