CB Richard Ellis Urban Photographer of the Year 2007

« Color photographs can be made to exhibit a warm (red or orange colors) or cool (blue colors) feeling depending on lighting. »

The objective is to explore work life in the UK’s towns and cities during any single hour of a 24 hour day. There will be 24 prizes, one awarded for each hour and from these will be chosen the Urban Photographer of the Year and two runners up.

The competition is open to all photographers, both professional and amateur, of 16 years and over who live in the UK. The Urban Photographer of the Year will be the person who, in the eyes of the judges, captures iconic observation on the theme ‘CITIES AT WORK’.

You can choose to photograph any UK town or city at work at any hour. For example a photograph could capture Oxford at work at 10am, Liverpool at work at 2am, Bristol at work at 9pm and so on. You can enter up to 24 separate photographs but only one for each hour. Please ensure you read the Rules.

We will shortlist each of the hours down to a maximum of ten finalists. If you make this cut you will automatically qualify for the competition ‘goody bag’. The ‘goody bag’ will contain offers for discounts and other benefits from our sponsors and other photographic industry brands. These offers will amount to a significant discount in your future purchases and photographic development. Contents of the ‘goody bag’ will be released in January 2008 to shortlist winners who will be sent a password for the site link.
