Get your cameras ready, Bangkok! Time Out is thrilled to launch its inaugural ‘Capture Bangkok’ Street Photography Challenge, a city-wide call for your most stunning, evocative and unique images of the capital.
Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a passionate amateur, this is your chance to showcase your vision and have your work celebrated.
In a megalopolis that pulses with a chaotic, and beautiful rhythm, every corner holds a story waiting to be told. From the serene temples of the Old Town to the dizzying heights of its modern skyscrapers, the frantic energy of its markets to the quiet moments of daily life, we want to see Bangkok through your eyes.
You voted, the world listened
Earlier this year, Bangkok was crowned the planet's second-best city by Time Out. That global recognition inspired 'Capture Bangkok.' This is more than a competition – it's a city-wide celebration of the talent and stories hiding in plain sight. We're inviting you to pound the pavement, explore the hidden sois, and capture the images that truly define Bangkok for you.
How to enter
Ready to take on the challenge? From June 30 to July 15, we’ll accept your photo submissions via a Google Form. The link for submissions will be announced on June 30, so keep your eyes peeled on our website and social media channels.
The prize
The stakes are high! The winning photograph, selected by a panel of 10 participating photographers, will be showcased in a special exhibition.
An exhibition in a historic setting
Speaking of the exhibition, we’re taking over The Corner House in Charoen Krung from August 7 to 20. This beautifully restored historic building, now a buzzing creative and lifestyle hub, provides the perfect backdrop to display the incredible photography from our readers. The exhibition will feature a curated selection of the most compelling entries, with the winning shot taking pride of place.
The exhibition will kick off with an exclusive launch event on August 7, bringing together the city’s creative minds and photography enthusiasts.
This exciting new Time Out challenge is brought to you in partnership with Canon, a name synonymous with photographic excellence. We’re always pleased to announce that Coca-Cola have just come on board.
So, what are you waiting for? Charge your batteries, polish your lenses and start exploring. We can’t wait to see your ‘Capture Bangkok’ moments!
