2014 Competition Draws 11,500 Entries from 79 Countries

Los Angeles — October 13, 2014 – German photographer Marius Vieth has been named the winner of the CBRE Urban Photographer of the Year competition for 2014. Mr. Vieth’s image, ‘Masks of Society’ was selected from among 11,500 entries from 79 countries, confirming the competition’s place as the largest of its kind.

The theme of the competition is ‘Cities at Work’ and photographers around the world are asked to capture the essence and reality of the working life of a city, with all of its beauty and day-to-day routine. The wide pool of entries captured urban scenes as diverse as the bustling roads of Mumbai to the quiet calm of street vendors shutting down their shops for the night.

“Cities are the life blood of CBRE’s business,” said Paul Suchman, the company’s Chief Marketing Officer. “We are pleased to recognize and celebrate the work of so many photographers – both amateur and professional – to capture the essence of global cities through the visual image. We congratulate Marius Vieth and thank our participants from around the world. The quality of the images we received this year was truly outstanding.”

Mr. Vieth, this year’s winner, said, “Being named the 2014 CBRE Urban Photographer of the Year is a fantastic achievement. Street photography has been a passion of mine for many years and I knew my ‘Mask of Society’ image was the perfect shot for the competition’s ‘Cities at Work’ brief. I’m constantly looking for new and interesting angles of urban life and its constantly changing landscape never fails to challenge me.”

Mr. Vieth’s prize is a luxury photography safari from a range of destinations across the globe.

This year, the competition also offered regional and youth prizes for the first time. The Europe, Middle East and Africa prize was awarded to Carlos da Costa Branco for ‘Dancing in the Street’ which depicts a traffic warden in Lisbon. The Asia Pacific prize went to Ly Hoang Long for ‘Net Mending’ a striking image of women mending fishing nets in Vietnam. Johanna Siegmann was the winner of the Americas prize for her image ‘Buffer Zone’. The youth prizes, sponsored by children’s development charity Plan International, were awarded to Sarah Scarborough (13-15 category) for ‘A Distant Silhouette’ taken in Venice and Szabolcs Simo (16-25 category) of Hungary for ‘Christmas Tram’.
