CBRE Urban Photographer of the Year 2017
The CBRE Urban Photographer of the Year competition is the largest of its kind, celebrating the richness and diversity of city life around the world by challenging both amateur and professional photographers alike to capture the essence of the urban environment.
Competition Theme: Cities of Connections
Cities of Connections: People, Places, Perspectives
Cities rarely align along a single axis. They thrive in a constant state of change, adaptation and evolution—driven by the people, places and perspectives that flow within them.
And today, more than ever, cities stand at the center of an unprecedented shift toward a truly interconnected world.
Where people come together to bring their individual and collective aspirations to life. Where innovation and tradition come together to reimagine our sense of place. And where the collision of cultures and ideas gives rise to new perspectives.
This year’s CBRE Urban Photographer of the Year competition challenges you to capture these connections between people, places and perspectives for your chance to win a range of great cash prizes.
Prizes
- Main Prize: Photography Trip of a Lifetime.
The overall UPOTY competition winner will receive a photography trip of a lifetime to a destination of their choice for themselves and a friend. Previous winners have visited locations including Turkey, Morocco, Bhutan and Namibia.

There will be three regional winners, one for each region – Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), Asia Pacific and Americas (you will be prompted to list your country of residence when registering for the competition).
