International Photography Contest 16th Edition.
Feel free to submit to several categories in our photo competition! Our central theme, Urban Life: Urban Photography, invites you to explore modernity through any photographic style set within the city. The City is our focus – its spaces, its people, the rhythm of daily life in both big and small urban centers. Show us the juxtapositions between city and country, the beauty of urban design, and bursts of colour against the city’s backdrop. We want authentic, in-the-moment images that narrate the City and its tales.
