    Show us the City only you know

    We want to see your city through your eyes — reveal its soul in a way that most people don't get to experience. Look beyond the well-known sights and go off the beaten path.

    Photograph the hidden corners, the local culture, the architecture and street scenes that give your city its identity. Capture the gritty alleyways, mom-and-pop shops, traces of history in aged buildings and abandoned places.

    Explore and find something unexpected, something profound in the ordinary. Photograph the morning mist, dusk light, neon nightlife. Capture the bustling markets, diverse neighborhoods, lonely places and quiet moments that make your city unique.

    We are not looking for pretty postcards and tourist shots. We want images that show the side of your city only its residents truly know. Help us understand your home through your artistic eye.
