Street photography is all about catching moments you can’t really plan. A strange coincidence, an unexpected interaction, a perfect play of light and shadow, or simply a person caught at just the right second can turn an ordinary scene into something worth remembering.
As we wait for the final results of the 2026 URBAN Photo Awards, we’re taking a look back at some of the best work from last year’s Street Photography category. The 2025 competition attracted thousands of photographers from around the world, with the selected images offering very different takes on everyday life in the streets. With the 2026 final ranking set to be announced on October 24 at Trieste Photo Days, there’s still plenty to look forward to.
For now, scroll down and explore some of the standout street photographs from the 2025 URBAN Photo Awards, and see which ones would make your personal shortlist.
