AMSTERDAM OPEN CALL
We’re inviting photographers from around the world to submit work for our upcoming exhibition in Amsterdam, taking place June 16–21, 2026.
We are offering 4 exhibition spots, awarded through a curated selection process. Selected photographers will be featured alongside an international community of street photographers and presented through the Worldwide Streets platform.
Participants may submit 1, 2, or 3 photographs, with each image reviewed individually, not as part of a series.
We welcome both film and digital work, and all approaches to street and documentary photography. Photographers from any country are invited to apply. AI-generated images are not accepted.
Beyond the exhibition, this open call is also an opportunity for us to discover and connect with new talents for future projects.
The open call is now live and closes on May 27, 2026.
SUPPORT A CAUSE
All net proceeds of the open call will be donated to Through the Eyes of Children.
The project teaches photography to vulnerable children, giving them the tools to document their lives and share their perspective with the world. What started in Rwanda has grown into a global initiative, where participants go on to teach others, creating a lasting cycle of learning and opportunity.
By taking part of this open call, you are not only supporting an exhibition, but contributing to a project where photography becomes a real tool for expression, confidence, and change.
JURY
All submissions are reviewed by an international jury of photographers and curators, each bringing a distinct perspective on contemporary street photography:
We welcome submissions from photographers at all stages of their practice. Whether you are emerging or established, this open call is an opportunity to share your work, support a meaningful cause, and be part of a growing international community.
Beyond the exhibition, this open call is a way for us to discover and connect with new talents for future projects.
Mark Fearnley is a London-based fine art street photographer whose work blends structure, atmosphere, and abstraction. Moving between monochrome and colour, he explores geometry, textures, and patterns within the urban landscape, often punctuating his images with a subtle human presence. His photographs transform everyday city scenes into graphic, poetic compositions, revealing both rhythm and stillness in the built environment. Through his lens, Fearnley invites viewers to see familiar streets in unexpected and imaginative ways, balancing precision with a strong sense of visual harmony.
