Exibart Street: Let's have a walk together

Exibart Street will be a new editorial platform dedicated to STREET PHOTOGRAPHY, created by Exibart, the most important Italian contemporary art magazine. We will go online with a site dedicated to street photography by June 2018.

To introduce our project and show you our excitement for this new adventure we decided to launch a free street photography contest for all street photographers around the world.

Show us only your best Street Photography pictures because we truly want to discover the most talented image-makers. The winner will be published on our online magazine and will receive a great prize: the new Leica CL with the Elmarit-TL 18mm f / 2.8 ASPH lens.

Entering the competition is easy, just click on the button below, fill out the form and upload your best three street photography pictures.

Deadline: Thursday, 31 May 2018 24:00 GMT

The Prize: Leica CL with the Elmarit-TL 18mm f / 2.8 ASPH lens

The new Leica CL is the deliberate transfer of traditional values from patience, persistence and craftsmanship into the fast and modern world we live in. A companion. So compact and discrete that it fits in every hand and finds a place in every heart.

The new Leica Elmarit-TL 18mm f/2.8 ASPH. is not only one of the most smallest lenses in its class, it also by far exceeds the imaging performance of its competitors.With a length of only 20.5 millimetres, a weight of no more than 80 grams and fast autofocus, this wide-angle is the perfect ‘constant companion’
