URBAN Photo Awards 2023 Exhibit Previews

 

 

This year, we are once again organizing a full calendar of Exhibit Previews featuring the best images from URBAN Photo Awards 2023!

Our aim is to distinguish URBAN Photo Awards as one of the few contests in the world that goes “over the boundaries” of the Internet online publication. We want to support our growing photo community with real visibility and global recognition.

We therefore offer the possibility to the Selected Photographers of URBAN 2023 to display their photos and projects in a group exhibition (in case of Single Photos) or a personal exhibition (in case of Portfolios). They’ll take place during the 10th edition of Trieste Photo Days, our international festival dedicated to urban photography an be widely promoted as well between the Photo Days Tour (a gathering of events that will take place in many regional locations) and Trieste Photo Fringe (the “widespread festival” of Trieste Photo Days, focused on the best exposition locations in Trieste).

All venues, from our hometown Trieste to several other locations in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region, can be seen on the map below.

The exhibition spots available are unfortunately limited. Hence, we will give priority to those who will confirm our call for participation first.

In detail:

Trieste Photo Days 2023

10th edition of our international photography festival, which this year sees Alec Soth, Jérôme Sessini, and Kadir van Lohuizen and many others as guests.

Photo Days Tour 2023

A gathering of events that take place outside the city during the festival (see here the 2022 exhibitions).

Trieste Photo Fringe 2023

The “widespread festival” during Trieste Photo Days with a selection of best bars and similar venues in Trieste, Italy, to host the pictures (here the 2022 exhibitions).

Details

  • Photos will be printed in high resolution on a 60x40cm Forex hardboard with the photographer’s contacts (name, nationality, email, website)
  • Each of our locations is the perfect place for a particular author. This is why we plan the curatorship of the exhibitions very carefully, together with the venue managers. We cannot guarantee the booking of a specific location per photographer’s wish, but we will always find the optimal space where their displayed photography work will stand out. 
  • Please note: due to limited space, in some cases we may have to remove 1 or 2 photos from portfolios with 12 or 11 photos
  • The exhibition spaces are limited: we will give priority to those who first confirm their participation
  • The festival’s organizing association dotART will keep the prints for future exhibitions. You will always be notified about new exhibit locations, and we’ll document everything with a photo reportage.
  • We kindly ask you to check if you have submitted high-resolution photos already in your personal User area. If not, please send them directly to our dedicated account daniele.vicinanzo@dotart.it . Send us your RGB JPEG uncompressed file and we will take care of the rest.

Timetable

  • Pictures will be printed in July. Exhibitions will be set up from August 2023.
  • For organizational reasons we will create a page similar to this one with the authors displayed that we will update periodically: we are not able to tell everyone exactly when and where from the beginning.

Extra Benefits

  • Official exhibit certificates
  • Some photos from Selected Projects will be published in the book Urban unveils the City and its Secrets – Vol. 09, which contains the best of the contest
  • Mention of all the authors on the official Trieste Photo Days 2023 catalogue
  • Mention of all the authors on the communication of the Festival: newsletter, printed media, Facebook, and other social media channels
  • Photographic reportage of the exhibition and presentation of the book via Dropbox and published on the festival site and on Facebook
