Where to send your street work
The places worth an edit — magazines, awards, festivals, platforms and collectives that publish street photography, curated and rated by Vietnam Streets.
High fit 20
Street Photography Magazine
The self-styled 'official journal of street & documentary photography' — enthusiast-friendly, story-driven, publishing since 2013.
Vietcetera
Vietnam’s leading English/Vietnamese lifestyle and culture media. The one outlet here whose readers are the people in the photographs.

Long-running fine-art photo magazine; its recurring Group Exhibition is a genuinely open, no-fee, themed showcase.
Street Hunters
Long-running street resource/blog; the editor personally selects and writes up one exceptional reader photo each week.

Membership community fused with a premium print magazine; monthly assignments reward the best with publication.

Popular curated street feature platform; exposure-driven and community-first, with high engagement.
Glass
Paid, member-funded, ad-free, anti-algorithm photo community. Explicitly built as the antidote to Instagram.
1x.com
A hard-juried gallery where curators accept or reject each submission — so a published photo carries curation credibility.

A foundation running awards, exhibitions and an editor-curated showcase. Not every submission is shown.
Worth a look 23
PetaPixel
The largest photography news site. There is no open call — you pitch a story or project to an editor, and a good one travels far.

Long-running contemporary photo magazine; leans on publication and gallery-facing distribution over cash prizes.

Polished competition-magazine hybrid with industry guest judges; sells discovery and career visibility.
Analog Forever Magazine
Dedicated to film and alternative-process photography; each call curated by a named guest. Craft-focused.
PhotoVogue (Vogue Italia)

Curated by Magnum's David Alan Harvey; a storied emerging-photographer platform with a documentary/photo-essay soul.

Intimate, interview-led street & documentary magazine; every subject answers the same signature question set.

NYC4PA — Street Photography
NY Center for Photographic Art themed calls; an accessible mid-tier award with a dedicated street theme.
