The UrbanPhotoFest Open is a new international urban photography competition seeking to stimulate dialogue through the visual representation of key themes related to the contemporary city. The competition reflects the theme introduced by our 5 day UrbanPhotoFest event in London and this year the theme is (re:) Thinking the Street.
At UrbanPhotoFest we believe that contemporary street photography reflects a constellation of visual practices focusing on a range of approaches; including street-life, material culture and objects, portraiture, and street-based urban landscape. We know that street photographic practices can be diverse, engaging, thought-provoking, geographically resonant, and speak to wider concerns about the nature of the modern city. They can also reflect our experiences of non-urban and rural environments where streets make connections between villages and proto-urban spaces between.
Whether amateur, professional or student, you are invited to submit up to 4 images that showcase your visual representation of the theme of the competition
Prizes:
First Prize: Fuji Compact System Camera X-T1 with Fujinon XF23mm F1.4R lens plus three x half hour mentoring sessions during a one year period and a portfolio review.
Second Prize - a place on the prestigious International Urban Photography Summer School at Goldsmiths, University of London, two x half hour mentoring sessions during a one year period and a portfolio review.
Third Prize - a cash prize of £300 and a portfolio review.
In addition to the above prizes:
The three winning images will be shown on the UrbanPhotoFest website.
A selection of 20 competition photographs including the winning images will be screened at the international festival conference in October 2016.
