We return for another instalment of ‘This Week on Streethunters.net’, our weekly run-down of the recent blog posts and activity on the Streethunters.net street photography website and social media pages. If you would like to check out older weekly summaries going back over a few months, you can find find historic posts in the ‘This Week’ category of the website. And with that, we shall crack on with breaking down what we had going on this week!
Street Photographer Svilen Nachev is the winner of the June 2017 Monthly Theme Contest. He is based in Svishtov in Bulgaria. Five months ago, Svilen won the “The Colour Red” monthly theme contest. His images was selected from a pool of 30 Colour Red street photography themed photographs!
Since January we have introduced new prizes for the winners of the Streethunters.net monthly theme contests. All prizes aim to give the winners massive exposure on our website and our social profiles. But what are those prizes?
The Street Hunters Monthly Theme Contests have produced genuinely exceptional winning shots. We here at HQ expected great work, and, quite honestly, this year’s crop of winners have exceeded our expectations. Through the first five months, Roy Rozanski, Kristof Vande Velde, Christoph Wuzella, Sreejith Kaviyil and Zlatko Vickovic have not only cleared the bar, but also raised it! Needless to say we get a ton of submissions every month, and the work of these previous winners has made us better judges for it!
June found us in the second instalment of a five-month stretch where the Monthly Theme Contests will be focused on colors. May kicked off the run with the color green, which was utterly crushed by Mr. Vickovic. June’s theme was the color red, the most passionate of the primary colors. We were anxious to see if we got flooded again with quality images.
Well, we were swept away by a River of Red! But like we said before, the photo really had to stand out within the constraints of the color theme. A photo with just that color element would not be enough! The cream does indeed rise to the top, and for the month of June, Svilen Nachev has ascended to the peak with a cracking, clever shot that features one boastful banty with a bold red beard!
Dear Streethunters.net Readers,
June 2017 is over. It is time to announce the winner of the June 2017 Street Photography Contest!
The theme of the contest was “The Colour Red” and we had asked you all to send in photos with examples of The Colour Red. You responded by sending in over 100 photographs! Thank you all for submitting your lovely work!
As per the rules of the contest, the 3 editors of the Streethunters.net website Andrew Sweigart, Digby Fullam and myself, chose one photo each. The next step was to select the very best one of the three and present it here to you.
So, the lucky winner of the June 2017 Street Photoghraphy Contest is Svilen Nachev and this is his photograph.
