Siegfried Hansen's Urban Geometry competition

The new World Street Competitions have already been started and of course like any year we will try to do something differently. This year we asked the curators to choose their own theme for a competition. These competitions will run next to the normal WSP competitions. Siegfried Hansen' of course wanted to do his favourite theme in street Photography: Urban Geometry.

Upload your best street photos which have geometrical or Abstract forms in it. Leave out the watermarks if possible and upload in HIGHRES, at least 3500px width.

The curator's choices will get a place into the WSP5 book!

Upload limitations
Please upload only 3 photos per month. Each month when the competition is running we will add 3 to the total amount of photos you may upload. So, if you didn't upload the first 3 months you may upload 9 photos. If more than 1000 photos are uploaded we will start a second competition and close the first one.

Jonathan Higbee "Jonathan's being behind the camera seems to calm him, it seems to connect him with his subjects. I like that about this work. I also love that this work is in color. So much of what he captures here just wouldn't work in monochrome - and perhaps that instinct to search out these moments of color is what indicates a master color photographer more than anything." -- Michael Ernest Sweet
