Please note: Consider that I reserve the decision to publish or not, based on the quality of the proposal. In my final decision there is nothing personal and only referred to a quality standard that I want to maintain on this blog. The idea comes from the desire to offer something more in favor of street photographers all over the world, but you are guests of my blog and therefore I ask for respect on the decisions made. By submitting your proposal, you declare under your responsibility that you are the only creator of the photographs presented and the acceptance of being part of this blog permanently with your work. The credits of the published images remain of the single authors.

ALEX STREET PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS
$5.00

ALEX STREET PHOTOGRAPHY - SELECTION 2026

This is not an award.

There is no jury.
There is no voting process.
There is no compromise.

This is a personal selection.

Every image will be seen and judged by me alone. I take full responsibility for every choice. No filters, no committees, no safe decisions. Just my eye, my experience, and my understanding of street photography after more than 15 years working in the field as a photographer, editor, and educator.

Most submissions will fail.

That’s the point.

WHAT THIS IS

This is not about celebrating participation.

This is about identifying photographs that hold weight.

Not just well-composed images.
Not just “good moments”.

I am looking for photographs that stay.
Images with tension, ambiguity, presence.

If your work relies on aesthetics alone, it will not pass.

SUBMISSION

ONE IMAGE ONLY

No series.
No multiple entries.
No second chances.

If you don’t know which is your strongest photograph, you’re not ready.

ENTRY FEE

5 USD

Not to make money.

To create a filter.

Submitting should cost you something, even if minimal.
Because choosing one image should matter.

HOW TO ENTER

Use the form below.

Images must be:
1920 px wide, 72 dp
i

SELECTION PROCESS

No shortlist.
No public voting.
No explanations.

A final selection will be made.

If your image is not selected, it simply didn’t make it.

WHAT YOU GET

Selected photographers will be proposed to get a feature in a dedicated monography.

No mass exposure.
No empty visibility.

Only context. Only meaning.

DEADLINE

Submissions will close without notice.

RIGHTS

You retain full rights to your images.

No copyright is transferred.
Your work remains yours.
