As we read on Wyborcza.pl:
For the sixth consecutive year, the Leica Street Photo competition has been organized by Leica Camera Poland.

Some winners of previous editions went on to receive awards in prestigious international competitions, including World Press Photo and the Leica Oskar Barnack Award.
More photographs by Michał Medyński can be found on his blog.
