Collection in 9 parts · Urban Art Core’s own competitions, 2009–2010

The photo contests

Seven hundred photographs in the first summer, five hundred the next: the two photo contests the site ran itself, from the call to the winners.

In its first year Urban Art Core ran an international photo contest, and did it again the next summer with a jury. These posts are the contests as they happened, a small piece of the site’s own history.
