Every year, hundreds of photographers from all over the world submit thousands of photos to the Urban Photo Awards, an international photography competition. It is one of the few contests that extends “beyond the borders” of social media; it is an ever-expanding international competition that gives photographers genuine attention through a variety of international photography exhibitions.
With that being said, the Urban Photo Awards will announce its final winners (not finalists) on 29 October 2022 at the Trieste Photo Days 2022 festival. If you’d love to see the previous year’s entries on Bored Panda, then make sure to click here.

#4 I Light What I Sea By Anna Devís And Daniel Rueda
Our goal with photography has always been to bring architecture closer to the people, using creativity and humor as an excuse to spread the passion architects feel for the cities they design. Instead of being relegated to the background, in our images these mundane yet beautiful structures we often take for granted are finally brought into the spotlight, getting all the attention they truly deserve.

#6 This Is My Eye By Ahmed El Hanjoul
A 70-year-old village woman from Mount Lebanon, with a cheerful spirit who loves the land and raising pets. For a long time, she has been interested in raising poultry and considers it one of the main things in her life. Her wrinkled face and hands, clearly tired of the working life, did not hide her hopeful smile. She carries her hen in such a way that it becomes a piece of her, she as sees through it, and everything is beautiful.

#10 He Story Of Preserving Heritage By Md. Arifuzzaman
This is the last remaining boat of Bengal. Traditionally it is called Malar. Its design date back 3000 years old! Due to rapid urbanization this kind of heritage is disappearing. It is very difficult to preserve this kind of big wooden hull in Bangladesh. This Malar boat is 93 feet (28m) under bamboo scaffolding- to turn a Bengali wooden boat, the bamboo scaffolding is the only method available. The rope is passed under the boat through the hole, and onto the pulleys. To overhaul this kind of traditional boat it is required more than 100 people. There are limitless steps and process to preserve this kind of Malar boat. This is why this kind of boat is extinct now a days.

#12 No.3 By Alireza Bagheri Sani
Minimalism, surrealism, and street photography all wrapped up into one seemingly simple image at first glance. However, the changing size of the doors, as well as the central positioning of the subject and the pop of yellow, ensures the image doesn’t become flattened. Creativity doesn’t always have to be loud

#16 A Silent Howl By Antonio Denti
Rocca Calascio, Italy. Of a village that is a metaphor of the turmoil and adventure of all human stories. Of repeated earthquakes that through the centuries forced the villagers to abandon their homes temporarily to then come back to rebuild all over again. Of humans that finally found how how life in the valley is easier that at almost 1500 above sea level and never came back to the village (1957). Of a twist in mind and fate by which the wolves that inhabit the mystical mountains around it passed from being fiercely hunted down to be protected (1970s). On an Hollywood blockbuster telling the love story between a wolf-man and an hawk-woman that suddenly made the amazing rock known to the world and gave it another chance. A new generation of humans that climb up to the rock – not anymore to watch out for bandits, not anymore to control the immense herds when wool was the white gold of the time – but to contemplate the infinity, to feel the turmoil and adventure of human history from on top of the WolfLands, in Deep Italy.
