Each year, The Edge runs four seasonal award rounds. Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.

Our members can submit up to five images per round. Each image is scored by a rotating panel of three of our ambassadors and one guest judge ensuring a variety of perspectives and styles are represented. Street photography is subjective, one judge may resonate more with a certain style over another. So if at first you don't succeed simply try again.

Images are scored from 1 to 5 stars with judges encouraged to award 5 stars only to exceptional images that really standout. Gaining an edge award is truly prestigious.

At the end of each round a curated selection of the highest-scoring images will receive an Edge Award. These will be featured on our website and social platforms.

The awards offer community recognition, exposure and credibility in the street photography world.

At the end of each year, the photographer who has received the most Edge Awards over the year will be named The Edge Street Photographer of the year. There will be a trophy for the winner and an invite to become an Edge Ambassador!

Edge Awards are intentionally selective, a mark of distinction, earned by those whose images push the boundaries of street photography. They're hard to win, but those who do will inspire and encourage us all to grow together.
