The New York Center for Photographic Art (NYC4PA) announces a call for artists for Street Photography. Vivian Maier, an unknown, left behind a treasure of images she took while walking outside during time off. As did Cartier-Bresson, Frank, Meyerowitz, Arbus, Evans, and the list of accomplished street photographers goes on. Their work captured a special essence of life, not posed, not set up but there in the streets, yards, avenues, and porches we pass every day. Compelling images surround us as we walk or ride in the streets of our lives.

Deadline: 9 Sept 2020

The challenge for this contest is to shoot street images that set them apart from snapshots. Opportunities abound. Take your camera or phone outside and capture the juxtaposition of a passerby and window decoration, special look, special split second moment of communication, or scene that conveys a message or feeling. The examples are too numerous and varied to list. All 2D photography is welcome.

The total prizes for Street Photography is $4000. There is a grand prize, three first prizes, three second prizes, three third prizes, 20 juror’s selections, and 20 honorable mentions.  Each of the first 25 winners have an opportunity to exhibit in a New York City gallery, the Jadite Gallery in Hell’s Kitchen. The exhibit runs for two weeks. In addition, all 50 winners are posted in a gallery on the New York Center for Photographic Art website and are included in an exhibition catalog. A professional photographer is the juror.
