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.

The selection process for the 26 finalists will be led by Xavi Herrero, who, together with the curator and owner of Galerie Art Nomade, Olivier Verdier, and a third member of the Jury, which will be announced in April 2026, will name the winners in each category (awarded €250) and the overall winner, who will receive a cash prize of €500\. A total of €1,000 in cash prizes will be awarded.

  
From all the participants, 25 artists will be selected, whose works will be published on our website and will be part of a six-day collective exhibition at the Galerie Art Nomade in Barcelona.

  
The organization will fully cover the costs of printing, framing, and installation, ensuring that the images receive the recognition they deserve in the Born neighborhood, one of Barcelona's most vibrant cultural centers.

  
During these six days, the SPBC will be a meeting point for local, national, and international photographers, as well as the public, who will have the opportunity to purchase the works on display if their creators allow it.

  
The festival will also feature workshops and a talk led by the three finalist photographers, who will share their experience, creative process, and vision of street photography.
