ToroBravo Photography — recommendations for street photography contests — yes!
First, big cities tend to favor street photography a little more. Look for street photography gatherings, like StreetFotoSF, or other photography conferences like Out of New York or Out of Chicago. I think there’s something similar in Colorado, in Seattle…odds are, your local city has something, and your local camera store will know. Typically these kind of conferences will try to do a contest to generate some public participation but won’t release too much announcement about it right up until the actual conference.
Then there aggregates of photo contests like http://www.photocontestinsider.com/ or http://photocontestguru.com/all-contests/ . Google “photography contests” for more of these!
Lastly, we (Streetography) are actually hosting a contest right now! It’s geared to spotlight Burning Man photos, do consider entering it if you have some. ( http://www.streetography.com/photo-of-the-month ) Hope this helps (:
