Mingzu Liu: Grand Prix Winner 2024
The international street photography competition Leica Street Photo is entering its 15th round. Photographers from all over the world are invited to submit their best work from 2025. The competition is one of the most prestigious platforms in the genre and has enjoyed great popularity in the global street photography community for many years. This year’s Grand Prix prize is a Leica Q3 43 camera.
As in previous years, an international jury, which includes the LFI editorial team, will select 30 outstanding photographs to be presented at exhibitions in Warsaw and at the Leica Gallery in Vienna. The best single photograph in the competition will also be awarded the Grand Prix.
Leica Street Photo sees itself not only as a classic photo competition, but also as an open platform for individual visual languages and personal perspectives. The competition is looking for both classic street shots and innovative, experimental interpretations of everyday urban life. The focus is on emotions, fleeting moments and stories of everyday life – told from a very personal perspective.
The competition runs until 9 January 2026. Only photographs taken in the calendar year 2025 are eligible for entry. A maximum of five images may be submitted per person. Submissions can only be made via the official website.
