ON THE STREET – CALL FOR ENTRIES - JUROR ELIZABETH AVEDON
“A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you, the less you know.” – Diane Arbus
From fleeting glances to bold confrontations, street photography captures the unscripted rhythm of life. For this exhibition, we invite images that reflect the beauty, humor, tension, and humanity found in everyday moments. Whether shot in a bustling city, a small-town fair, or a quiet rural intersection, we’re looking for photographs that tell stories of people, places, and the pulse of the street.
Show us how you observe the world when life doesn’t pose—when gestures, light, and chance align in a single frame.
We look forward to seeing how you see the street.
All genres, capture methods, editing processes, and printing styles are welcome.
