The winners of the 2024 Mono awards have been announced, with a mysterious, evocative portrait, a Canberra panorama and an artistic nature shot taking the honours. Now in its sixth year, the annual competition draws the cream of Australia and New Zealand’s black and white photographers, who compete for $18,000 in prize money across three categories: people, places and animals. More than 4,000 images were entered in the 2024 competition, run by Australian Photography and Capture magazines and sponsored by Synology.
