closed for submissions!
Get ready to showcase your street photography photo competition!
We take a different approach to photo contests because we think it will be more fair this way. This is how it works:
200 NOK* for 5 images
There’s one price for everyone and for that you can submit from 1 to 5 images. This way you get multiple chances to win. This is a single-image only competition. Keep in mind that we will not review your images as a series.
You are welcome to post pictures from anywhere in the world. There is no time frame for when the photos must have been taken.
The images you upload must be 1000px on the longest edge and tagged with sRGB color space. We will email you directly if one of your images are selected as one of the finalists. At that point we will request a high resolution version of your finalist image.
*NOK is the Norwegian currency. 200 NOK equals roughly to 17 Euro, 19 USD or 15 GBP (as of early april 2024).
