FIAP have announced details of the Monochrome Biennial to be held in early 2026, with Brazil as the host country.
Ireland is required to submit 10 monochrome prints by 10 different authors, all centred on a single theme with strong visual cohesion.
The Selection Committee is therefore inviting submissions on the following themes, from which one cohesive panel will be chosen:
- Environmental Portraits
- Urban
- Street Photography
- Scapes – Land / Sea / City
- Sport
