Urban Photographer Competition opened for submissions!

The annual Urban Photographer of the Year competition opened for submissions for a fourth year today with the news that entries are now welcome from across the globe.

First launched in 2007 by leading global real estate services firm CBRE as a contest focused on Europe, the Middle East & Africa (EMEA), the Urban Photographer of the Year’s growth has been remarkable. It is now the largest competition of its kind in the world, receiving over 10,000 entries from more than 74 countries last year alone.

The competition’s popular theme “Cities at Work” is designed to challenge amateur and professional photographers alike to capture what they consider to be the essence of urban life at any time of day, be it poignant, inspiring, quirky or amusing.

The overall global winner of the 2012 competition will be able to choose a luxury photo safari from a range of exotic locations sponsored by CBRE. Prizes will also be awarded to two runners-up and for the 24 standout images representing each hour of the day.

The Urban Photographer of the Year is now open to entries and photographers have until 30 June 2012 to submit their images of Cities at Work. The full list of winners, including the overall Urban Photographer of the Year 2012, will be announced in August 2012.
