This open call celebrates the dynamic and often challenging genre of Street Photography, seeking to provide a contemporary perspective on capturing the world around us. Photographers are invited to share their unscripted reactions and personal experiences of everyday life, from their immediate surroundings to the bustling heart of urban environments and all that lies between. The exhibition aims to highlight the beauty and significance found in chance encounters, spontaneous incidents, and the skill of capturing meaningful images without pre-planning or the direction of subjects. Furthermore, the call welcomes work from photographers engaged in long-term street photography projects and those exploring social documentary themes, encouraging a broad and insightful view of our present-day world through the lens. This is an opportunity to embrace spontaneity, focus on the present moment, and share your unique photographic perspective of the world you observe.
