Rewarding talent

Eliminated authors can still become winners in URBAN Photo Arena 2024!
How? In addition to the classic podium with the jury's favorite photos, we want to reward perseverance in voting and photographic intuition in knowing how to choose the winning photo. This is the "Best Voter" award, based on a score accumulation system.

The score

Each time a photo advances to the next round, the photographers who voted for that photo will earn points!
The number of points up for grabs will progressively increase in each group and each participant will be encouraged to vote qualitatively to win the "Best voter" award.

The best on display

We want to give visibility to young under 35 photography talents.
We will award the best 16 photographs in the standings by exhibiting them in a collective exhibition in Sala Fittke, in the heart of the city of Trieste!

The awards ceremony

The semi-finals of URBAN Photo Arena 2024 will be held on Friday, October 25, 2024.
The final will be played on Saturday 26 October during the awards ceremony of the international photography festival Trieste Photo Days.
