Street photography captures the raw, unscripted moments of everyday life—stories unfolding in public spaces through gesture, expression, light, and timing. This competition celebrates images that reveal the human condition with honesty and curiosity, whether poetic or gritty, quiet or confrontational. Submissions should reflect a strong sense of place and moment, transforming ordinary scenes into compelling visual narratives that invite viewers to pause, observe, and connect with the world around them.

Judging will focus on authenticity, visual impact, and storytelling. Images will be evaluated on composition, use of light and shadow, timing, and emotional resonance, with particular emphasis on how effectively the photograph communicates a moment or idea without staging or manipulation. Technical quality should support the image rather than overpower it, and judges will value originality, intention, and a clear personal vision that elevates the scene beyond mere documentation.​
