About Street Photography Barcelona Contest

The Street Photography Barcelona Contest (SPBC) was founded with the mission of offering international exposure to photographers, both professional and amateur, who explore street photography with authenticity, creativity, honesty, and passion. The festival provides a physical and virtual exhibition space where works can be viewed, appreciated, recognized, and even purchased by a professional and global audience.

SPBC shares part of its organizing team with Ibizacinefest , directed by Xavi Herrero , passionate about street and travel photography, and the driving force behind this new event in Barcelona. Ibizacinefest , recognized as one of the most relevant emerging film festivals in Spain, is an official qualifier for the Goya, Forqué, and Fugaz Awards, in addition to collaborating with the European Film Academy. With a history of 10 editions and the support of up to seven cultural departments from different public administrations, it constitutes a solid guarantee of professionalism and seriousness. That same commitment is transferred to Street Photography Barcelona , ensuring that your photographs will be in the hands of an honest cultural project with an international vocation

Judging criteria

For SPBC, the essence of street photography lies in the ability to observe what happens in the environment and capture the authenticity of a unique moment of reality. It's about recognizing and recording those unique moments that urban areas and their anonymous characters offer us anywhere in the world, transforming them into unique works of art.

Juror information

The jury for the first edition will be announced in April 2026. The selection committee is made up of Xavi Herrero (Festival Director) and Olivier Verdier (Owner and Curator of Galerie Art Nomade).
