Exibart Street Photography Contest — 5th Edition
The Exibart Street Photography Contest is run by Exibart Street, the photography arm of Italy's contemporary art magazine Exibart, with Leica Camera as main sponsor. The 2026 cycle is the contest's 5th edition. Submissions are split into two categories — Best Single Photo and Best Series — with separate fee structures: €10 for a single image, €49 for a series of 3 to 9 images.
Top prizes are camera hardware: a Leica Q3 (full-frame compact, fixed 28mm Summilux lens) and a Xiaomi 17 Ultra equipped with Leica-branded lenses. Selected photographers also receive editorial coverage across the Exibart network — interviews, features in the magazine, and inclusion in the contest's online gallery. Submissions are open worldwide to photographers aged 18 or over.
The jury is led by president Alan Schaller, the British photographer and co-founder of Street Photography International, alongside Biba Giacchetti (curator, founder of Sudest57 and Orion57), Andrea Pacella (Leica Camera AG, Global Marketing & Communication), Eolo Perfido (Editorial Director of Exibart Street and Leica Akademie instructor), Barbara Di Maio and Francesca Tiboni (co-founders of Women in Street Italy), and Uros Gorgone (Exibart General Manager). Submissions close October 15, 2026.
