Black and White Spider Awards is an organization for the advancement of black and white photography. Our aim is to bring photographers from all corners of the globe together with leading industry figures to participate in a unique annual celebration of this classic art-form.

By selecting the best eyes in the industry to judge and jury the most expressive and creative photographs, we hope to inject a fresh artistic vision into the world of photography honors. 

The Awards benefit Amnesty International and Art For Disabled Children - a charity introducing children and young adults to the wonderful world of photography through the "My First Camera" program and the "Masters of Photography International Charity Exhibition". This year's exhibition took place in Brazil with all profits and donations benefiting Associação Paranaense para o Desinvolvimento do Potencial Humano (APADEH), a day school in the heart of Curitiba, the capital of Brazil's southern state of Paraná. Established in 1987, the school provides an education for children with learning difficulties.

Please join us and help bring to light greater black and white photography for all.

Black and White Spider Awards was incorporated under the laws of the UK in 2005. In 2006, the company became a subsidiary of the World Photographic Arts Corporation.
