Dublin Street Photography Festival CLG

Dublin Street Photography Festival Company Limited by Guarantee is the organiser behind Ireland’s premier celebration of street photography. Each May the company stages the Dublin Street Photography Festival, an international event that brings together established masters and emerging talent to showcase the vibrant, candid art of life on the streets.

The festival’s core offering is its Open Call, which invites photographers to submit single images, series or street portraits for judging by a leading panel of experts. Selected works are exhibited in a high‑profile finalist show, with overall winners earning a feature exhibition at the following year’s festival. In 2026 the festival presents the “New York Visionaries” feature exhibition, highlighting the iconic work of Louis Stettner, Meryl Meisler and Phil Penman, alongside a rich programme of keynote talks, workshops, guided photo walks, networking sessions and competitive awards.

Based in Charlemont Square, Dublin 2, the organisation serves photographers, curators, collectors and the wider public who share a passion for street‑level storytelling, providing a dynamic platform for learning, exposure and community building.
