• Open Award catalogues and £100 book voucher from Blurb to print their own books

The London Street Photography Festival defines Street Photography as:

“candid, un-staged photography which captures, explores or questions contemporary society and the relationships between individuals and their surroundings.”

Street photography is perhaps more easily defined as a method than a genre. The results can fit into documentary, portraiture and other genres, but the key elements of spontaneity, careful observation and an open mind ready to capture whatever appears in the viewfinder are essential.

APPLICATION DEADLINE: 31 March 2011

ENTRY FEE: £30.00

SELECTED ENTRIES submitted will be projected during the Awards exhibition and profiled on the LSPF website.

ALL PHOTOGRAPHERS who enter will receive a £28.95 voucher (free!) to print your own book with Blurb.
