Inspirational content

When we book our speakers, we take great care to curate a programme that contains variety. After all you come to events like these to be inspired and learn something — hopefully leaving with a drive to try something new. Otherwise you could just keep scrolling Instagram. We keep a portion of the programme relatively strictly focused on street photography, but we always aim to also include something you didn’t know you needed.

The nicest, most international photo community in the nordics

Norway is a small country, but Oslo SPC is a surprisingly large, diverse, and international community. We pride ourselves in being inclusive and welcoming, which we think our member meet-ups and two prior festivals have proven. Come and see for yourself!

A fair photo contest with great prizes

Many photography competitions worldwide have a bad reputation for being cash cows. We still believe in the importance of providing an arena for highlighting the best that comes from the global street photography community. We make participation simple, cheap and judging transparent.

This year we separate colour from B&W work, both to judge apples to apples and also to be able to give out more prizes! And even if you don’t make the six podium places, you might still be exhibited at the festival and online if you make the finals.

Afterparty

When the festival venue closes at 23:00 on Saturday, there will be tables reserved for us nearby to continue the conversation with speakers and new friends.
