Monochrome Award 2026 - sponsored by Digital Silver Imaging

The DSI Monochrome Award will be given to photographic educators who demonstrate excellence in black and white photography. Recipients receive a $600 cash travel stipend to the Atlanta conference and a $2,500 certificate toward DSI Digital Silver® gelatin prints or high-resolution film digitization services. This enables recipients to make true silver gelatin prints directly from digital files or digitized film, from 8"x10" to 40"x60". Open to SPE community members serving as instructors, educators, or adjunct faculty, recipient will be selected based on quality and ability to use the medium in expressive, innovative, and/or thought-provoking ways. DSI Digital Silver Prints® are real silver gelatin (silver halide) black & white prints on fiber base paper, made from the fusion of digital technology and traditional exposure/chemical printing. We use a Lightjet 430 laser printer to expose light-sensitive Ilford silver gelatin paper up to 50" wide, then process the exposed paper in liquid photo chemistry.
