First launched in
\n2007, the competition has grown to attract more than 8,000 entries from 115
\ncountries.<\/p>\n
Photographers are
\ntasked with capturing an image on the theme of ‘Cities at Work’, portraying the
\nessence of a town or city at a specific hour of the day<\/p>\n
Michael Strong,
\nexecutive chairman of CBRE for Europe, Middle East and Africa, said, ‘Each year
\nthe competition is fiercely contested, and the number and range of images we
\nreceive is staggering.’<\/p>\n
He added, ‘I
\nwould encourage anyone, whether a professional photographer or an amateur with
\na passion for photography to enter.’<\/p>\n
British photographer
\nFraser Perrie took the top prize home last year with an image of cobblers
\nworking beneath New York’s Rockefeller Center (above).<\/p>\n
This year’s
\nwinner will choose one of five luxury photo-safari holidays from a range of exotic locations. Two
\nrunners-up will also receive prizes, and 24 images (one for each hour) will be
\ncommended.<\/p>\n

\nof the competition, to run alongside the main awards, is also being introduced
\nfor 2013.<\/p>\n
