The Penn Institute for Urban Research is thrilled to invite photographers and visual storytellers worldwide to participate in its ninth annual photo contest titled “Gather: The Power of Place-based Connection.”
.
City spaces provide an unparalleled backdrop for planned and chance human encounters and exchanges that sustain and propel society forward. Whether in grand public squares, intimate cafés, bustling markets, neighborhood parks or civic halls, urban spaces remain the heartbeat of human interaction. In this era of digital saturation and increased isolation, the need to connect, exchange ideas, and celebrate moments has never been more profound. This year, as they celebrate their 20th anniversary, they also celebrate the essential role cities play in bringing people together.
.
Submit your best photos or videos (1 minute or less) that capture how cities bring people together: To learn. To connect. To celebrate. To play. To indulge. To protest. To care. To grow. To move. To transform.
