These photos will be exhibited at StreetFoto from June 8 through 12 at Joe Goode Annex, 499 Alabama Street, San Francisco, and will be published in our upcoming annual. Winners and runners-up will be announced on June 11 at our awards ceremony.

Photography is about telling stories, and long-term projects are what keep many of us going. This contest invited street photographers to submit a series of photographs that share a common theme or narrative. Much of what we consider to be the street photography canon arises from projects like this.
