Winners & Finalists Street 2025

First place - Jet Budelman from The Netherlands

Nikos Economopoulos’s motivation for his choice: “This is a photo I really like. What stands out most for me is the abstraction that comes through in the entire image — it’s not clear exactly what it is. There are more questions than answers. This is what can be called photographic poetry.”

Second place - Eleonore Botton from France

Nikos Economopoulos’s motivation for his choice: ““With meaningful content and a strong visual composition, this photograph feels like a powerful journalistic story. It leaves a lasting impression after just one glance.”

Third place - Sharon Eilon from Israel

Nikos Economopoulos’s motivation for his choice: “This is a solid photograph. A descriptive image with a composition full of layers, where every element is perfectly placed. A photo made with a professional eye that tells the story in the best possible way. The photographer’s intention is to tell the story truthfully, without trying to go beyond the reality they depict.”

Souvik Roy

I am a Mumbai based street and documentary photographer. I love capturing the dynamic energy of the streets, raw emotions and the quiet poetry hidden in mundane. I believe photography is not only about observation, its also about immersing oneself at the crossroads of anonymity and intimacy.

Congratulations to Souvik Roy a finalist with this photo.
