The rules are simple

  1. There are two categories: colour and black-andwhite.
  2. You pay per category. You will need to pay twice to enter both categories. You may only participate once per category (with up to 3 photos).
  3. This is an international street photo competition. Images may be shot anywhere in the world.
  4. This is a single-image only competition. Keep in mind that we will not review your images as a series.
  5. The images you submit must be your own work and you must own the rights to reproduction.
  6. We do not accept composite images or AI generated images. Normal post processing to enhance, denoise and clean up images (dust removal etc) is allowed.
  7. Submitted photographs must have been captured between January 1st 2024 and May 8th 2026, encouraging the inclusion of new and recent work in the selection and exhibition.
  8. The images you upload must be no larger than 2000 px on the longest edge, and the file must be maximum 3 MB.
  9. By submitting images you grant Oslo SPC the right to reproduce the images in digital or printed marketing material intended for promotion of and display at Oslo Street Photo Festival.

You as the photographer retain full copyright of your work and Oslo SPC pledges never to reproduce your work without explicit permission outside the conditions of rule 9 above.

The board of Oslo SPC will pick the top 20 finalist pictures. These will be announced on our Instagram a couple of weeks before the festival and also be exhibited at the festival. We might also announce some runners up.

We will email you directly if your photo is amongst the top 20 finalists. At that point we will request a high resolution version of your finalist image in sRGB color space for print purposes.

Our main speakers will jointly take care of the final judging of the 20 finalist photos in each category.
