street photography barcelona contest 2026

The Street Photography Barcelona Contest (SPBC) was created with the aim of giving international visibility to professional and amateur photographers who work in street photography with honesty and creativity. The festival offers a physical exhibition in Barcelona and screenings in Ibiza, spaces where their works can be seen, appreciated, recognized, and even acquired.

Six days of exhibition in Barcelona at the Art Nomade Gallery for the 25 finalists. Screening of the 25 finalists in Ibiza in collaboration with Ibizacinefest (Ibiza International Independent Film Festival). Ibizacinefest will cover the European flight, and the overall winner's hotel will present the session in Ibiza.

€500 for the overall winner. €250 for two special mentions. €1,500 in prizes total.

For SPBC, the essence of street photography lies in the ability to observe what happens in the environment and capture the authenticity of a unique moment of reality. It's about recognizing and recording those unique moments that urban areas and their anonymous characters offer us anywhere in the world, transforming them into unique works of art.
