The Pure Street Photography Awards 2026 continue to define excellence in street photography, standing as one of the most respected and internationally recognised honours dedicated solely to this powerful art form. Rooted in authenticity and guided by an unwavering belief in visual truth, the PSP Awards celebrate photographers who capture life as it truly is—unfiltered, imperfect, and deeply human.

The 2026 Awards are shaped by an outstanding jury of globally respected photographic voices. Fiona Shields, Head of Photography at The Guardian, brings her formidable editorial experience to the Open Street Photography category. Her leadership has influenced visual storytelling worldwide, making her presence a defining force of this edition.

The Black and White Street Photography category is judged by Rui Palha, whose evocative monochrome imagery has earned international acclaim. Known for his intuitive use of light and shadow, Palha’s work distils complex human emotions into quiet, unforgettable moments.

Serving as Advisory Judge across both categories is Dimpy Bhalotia, award-winning photographer and creative director. With her distinctive visual language and curatorial clarity, she helps guide the Awards with a strong commitment to artistic integrity and purity of vision.

The Pure Street Photography Awards 2026 embody a renewed and powerful mission: to honour the art of seeing truth in its most honest and human form. Open to photographers from every corner of the world, PSP welcomes those who value instinct over perfection and storytelling over spectacle.

Selected winning and finalist photographs will be exhibited in Jaipur, Rajasthan—a city where history breathes through colour, form, and light. Known for its rich artistic heritage and cultural vitality, Jaipur provides a meaningful setting for a global gathering of photographic voices.

If you trust the human eye above all else—if you believe in moments over manipulation—this is your invitation to step forward, to be celebrated, and to be remembered.
