Vivian Maier, an unknown, left behind a treasure of Street Photography she took while walking outside on time off. Discovered after her death, they have been featured at museums around the world, most recently Photografiska in New York. Cartier-Bresson, Frank, Meyerowitz, Arbus, all were known as accomplished street photographers and the list goes on. Street photography, as an art form, captures a special essence of life, not posed, not set up, but there in the streets, yards, avenues, etc. we pass every day.The challenge is composing those photographs that set them apart from snapshots. Take your camera or phone outside with you and capture the odd juxtaposition of a passerby and a window decoration, a special look, a split-second moment of communication, a scene that conveys a message or feeling. The examples are too numerous and varied to list. All 2D photography is welcome.

There will be 10 cash prizewinners, 20 Juror Selections and 20 Honorable Mentions
JUROR: DEBRA KLOMP CHING Co - Owner Klompching Gallery
