Black & White Spider Awards

Celebrating black & white photography around the globe

What are the Spider Awards?

Now in its 21st year, the Black & White Spider Awards is a prestigious global competition honoring excellence in monochrome photography. A carefully selected international jury recognizes outstanding images for their creative and emotional power—shining a light on compelling work that pushes the artistic potential of black and white. Earning a nomination or award here is a meaningful honor and reflects not just technical strength but emotional resonance and storytelling. For dancers, it’s a way to elevate their artistry on the world stage.

Why It Matters

Earning a nomination or award at the Spider Awards is a recognized mark of excellence in black-and-white photography. It’s also a meaningful validation that these images—crafted with precision and purpose—resonate beyond technique, honoring the individuality and artistry of the dancers whose stories they tell.
