Our Streetstyle Photography Competition gives up-and-coming photographers from Berlin the opportunity to further develop their work and showcase their talent in fashion and streetstyle photography. Students, graduates, and emerging professionals from Berlin are eligible to participate.
For each edition, participants can submit five photos in various categories, taken during Berlin Fashion Week. Using the BFW show calendar, they can explore locations and shows and capture the city's fashion scene directly on the street.
All submissions are carefully evaluated by a panel of experts. In the SS27 season, this panel consisted of Alejandro Reyes, Eva Losada, Luca Marie Lorenz, Marvin Lobodda, Marvin-Mario Bahome, and Per Appelgren.
The winner of the SS27 season is Luciano Doria ! The Italian native prevailed against numerous other participants with his expressive images at BFW. As the winner, he will be the official photographer for the next BFW edition in January 2027*. His winning photos will also be published in SICKY Magazine.
Information about the next edition of the Streetstyle Photography Competition will be published shortly.
*Can only be fulfilled if FCG is re-commissioned by the Berlin Senate Department for Economic Affairs, Energy and Public Enterprises for the next edition of BFW
