About
Street photography can take many forms: from candid, unexpected street portraits to brilliantly seen geometries within the built environment; anything from dazzling street fashions to gritty scenes of urban life the world over all fall into the genre.
To help inspire your entry, we have curated a selection of great street photography work drawing on last year's winners and some of our latest discoveries. We will continue to update this showcase throughout the summer as new work comes to our attention.

All entries will be reviewed and pre-screened by LensCulture's editors. Screened entries will then be reviewed by the international jury of experts, and the international jury will choose the winners. The decisions of the jury are final.
