“Shoot UKREiiF 2026 like a city‑wide story, not a conference. We’re offering three separate £500 documentary photography commissions (one per day of the event) to capture candid, street‑level moments across Leeds – no submission fee, open to documentary, street and editorial photographers from the Leeds/ West Yorkshire creative community, at any career stage and especially those from diverse backgrounds.

The UK Real Estate Investment & Infrastructure Forum (UKREiiF) is a major annual event bringing together public and private sector leaders to discuss the future of the UK’s towns, cities and infrastructure, hosted across the Royal Armouries and wider Leeds city centre .

For 2026, we are commissioning three documentary‑style photographers (one per day) to create a new, story‑led body of work that looks at the event and it's themes from a more journalistic perspective.

Rather than traditional stage and speaker‑driven conference photography, we are looking for candid, street‑level imagery that captures real moments: people moving between venues, informal conversations, the atmosphere in public spaces, and how UKREiiF sits within the fabric of Leeds.

The final selection will form a long‑term image library for UKREiiF and will act as a visual style guide when commissioning future event photography.”

Free to apply via Curatorspace. £500 paid to selected photographers.
