2019 marks the inaugural year of The Mono Awards, a celebration

of the best black-and-white photography from Australia and New

Zealand. Focusing on two categories, People and Places, the

single-image competition was judged by a panel of nine renowned

photographers – all masters of the medium – with specialisations

covering a wide breadth of genres from landscapes to portrait to

advertising and fashion.

A huge congratulations to our winners, runners-up, and Top 20

placegetters. Their names and a selection of the best work

appears on the following pages. Notification of Highly

Commended and Commended entries will be sent by email in the

coming weeks. Winner and runner-up in the Places category are

Sharron Leppien and Jannick Clausen, respectively. In the People

category, first place was taken out by Gaanesh Prasad, and Todd

Henry was named the runner-up. The winners and runners-up will

share in a prize pool of $10,000, including $5,500 cash.

Thanks to our amazing panel of judges for their time and wisdom

to help decide the winners. Thanks also to them for sharing their

top tips for producing amazing black-and-white images. These

appear amongst the place-getters.

Lastly, a very big thank you to our major sponsor, Momento and

Momento Pro, and supporting sponsor, Kudos Cameras, all of whom
