CBRE Urban Photographer of the Year Competition
Calling all amateur and professional photographers alike! The CBRE Urban Photographer of the Year competition challenges you to capture what you consider to be the essence of urban life at any time of day, anywhere in the world. Our theme this year, ”Cities at Work’’, encourages you to portray the life of your chosen town or city. The Urban Photographer of the Year will be the person who, in the eyes of the judges, has best captured the brief to portray the life of a town or city at a given time of day. Whilst the photograph does not necessarily have to be taken at that specific time of day, it does need to look as though it was.
You can choose to photograph any town or city at work worldwide.
Theme: ‘Cities At Work’
Categories:
- Travel/Transport
Travel is a vital part of any urban landscape; the Travel/Transport category will house your pictures of modes of transport, journeys and movement. - Workplace
This category will showcase the very best of the competition’s images of people at, or places of, work. - Architecture
Architecture and the built environment is an integral part of urban society. Here we ask you to submit imaginative shots that capture the history, atmosphere and character of a city’s buildings - Urban regeneration
Urban regeneration is seen as essential to revitalising impoverished urban areas, developing communities and improving the infrastructure of society. We are seeking the most thought provoking images depicting how these projects are transforming our urban environment. - Cityscape
By day or night, many city’s have distinctive skyline’s. Can you capture the life and stature of an urban landscape in one photograph? - Environment
Integrating environmental thinking into urban development has resulted in much creativity as cities seek to breathe fresh air into the hustle and bustle of daily life. We’re looking for images that have demonstrated green thinking.
