The International Street Photography Awards offers ten photo categories in which to submit your entries.  Each entry may be placed in only one category. Please choose carefully,

Abstract, Action, Architecture & Geometry, Candids, Color, Light & Shadow, Mobile, Noir, Portraits, Silhouettes

Although many photos would be at home in several of the categories, it is up to you to choose the most relevant category for each photo submitted.

Information on all of our photo categories is available by selecting from the links below.

We will award a 1st place winner and set of Honorable Mentions for each photo category. All 1st place winners will receive a Street Photography Awards prize pack, digital winners certificate, social media recognition & prominent exposure in our website winners gallery. All winners will be eligible for our $2500 Grand Prize & our $1000 Second Place prize
