Urban Photo Race is a self-guided street photography competition that takes you through Brussels in a single day. Four checkpoints across the city. Four themes revealed on race day at each checkpoint. Twelve photos to show what you see that everyone else walks past.
An independent jury of professional street photographers evaluates every submission anonymously. They are looking for series that surprise them, three photos that belong together, a point of view held across a set.
