Are you ready to elevate your street photography from hidden gems in your portfolio to celebrated art on a global stage? The LensCulture Street Photography Awards invite you to submit your most captivating photos and series, offering you a unique platform to showcase the vibrant, pulsating life of your streets from around the world.

Street photography is not just an art — it’s an encounter, an ongoing dialogue with the unpredictability of everyday moments. It’s the early morning rush, the late-night stillness, and every artful shard of light and shadow in between. This is your opportunity to transform ordinary instants into profound visual narratives that resonate with audiences far and wide.

Why enter? Imagine your work seen and appreciated by millions of people worldwide. Hundreds of entries will be highlighted in our online gallery and in our daily social media feeds — before the official judging begins! Top winners will be exhibited in a group show at Photo London, and featured prominently on LensCulture’s platform that reaches photography lovers in over 150 countries globally.

Show us how you see the streets of your world!

All winning photographers will be exhibited at Photo London 2025, a photography fair which brings together the world's leading galleries, publishers and collectors, as well as an ambitious program of exhibitions, conversations, artist book signings and curated fair events. The top 10 winners will be featured with prints in the group show, and all other winning work will be presented on a large digital display.

An opening reception will be held for LensCulture artists, invited media, photo editors and industry insiders for a night of art appreciation and networking during London’s largest international art fair dedicated to photography.
