The MSPF is an international photography festival showcasing the best of contemporary Street Photography viewed through the eyes of emerging photographers in this genre. The goal of the Festival is to establish a global platform for learning through exhibitions, workshops, lectures and other events.

This Festival is a collaborative effort to advance the work of photographers who pay attention to everyday life in order to capture the world around us.

Street photographers use their keen sense of observation to capture compelling candid moments in the everyday life of strangers, whether it be a gesture, facial expression, action or scene. Their method is often likened to a mirror held up to society...it reflects reality. There is no set-up involved, no manipulation of the scene and very little or no post-processing of the image. This realism has provided an accurate and insightful record of street culture throughout the world. With images portraying everything from the ugly, gritty side of life to more humorous situations, they are moments that unless captured, might otherwise go unnoticed.

At the heart of street photography is the 'decisive moment'. This is the split second when an image becomes complete in its composition - when each element of the image is in balance, in context and essential to the scene. This is when the shutter is released and the moment is captured forever.

The 2013 finalists were selected by our panel of judges from among hundreds of submissions.The finalists's images will be displayed at the festival's main gallery during Art Basel, one of the world's premier art scenes, where hundreds of thousands gather each year in Miami to celebrate the visual arts.

The 2013 MSPF Awards will be selected during festival week from among these images by the featured speakers at the festival, including world-renowned Magnum photographers, Alex Webb, Bruce Gilden, Constantine Manos, and author/photographer Rebecca Norris Webb.

Participating Collectives: iN-Public, Calle 35 and Strata.
