For the Monochrome Photography Exhibition, the theme is open, allowing for a wide range of subjects and creative interpretations, but it specifically requires that all entries be in black and white. This focus ensures that the photographs vividly explore the contrasts, textures, and depth that monochrome photography can offer, without the influence of color. This artistic choice amplifies the visual impact and draws attention to the nuances of light, shadow, and forms, inviting both photographers and viewers to experience familiar subjects through a distinctly powerful and evocative medium.
