There is ONE WEEK left to enter the Urban Life category of International Amateur Photographer of the Year. Daniel Goody won last year's round with this well-timed shot.

Daniel says: ‘Each summer, Southend hosts the Southend City Jam, an international street art festival featuring artists from around the world who take over the city with their spray cans. For someone who likes street and urban photography this event is a joy to document.

‘I stumbled upon this striking mural depicting a figure in a yellow hazmat suit, with the yellow and black caution tape extending across the wall. I knew immediately how I wanted to shoot this scene. So, I worked out my framing and composition and waited approximately 15 minutes for the right subject to walk through.’

Submit your urban, architecture and street photography here before 11:59pm GMT 5th January 2026. Free enter for photographers aged 21 and under: https://www.photocrowd.com/photo-competitions/photography-awards/apoy-2025/

Inspired by his father, who has served in the British Army, Bath Spa graduate Corbyn Roberts-Jones sought to experience what an Army exercise is like. For his project 'Stand To!', he worked with the 203 (Welsh) Multi-Role Medical Regiment, the 3rd Battalion of The Royal Welsh Infantry Regiment and others on joint exercises and document their day-to-day life.

Networking and building trust was one of the biggest challenges Corbyn faced in order to gain access to restricted areas and begin his work. He tells Jessica Miller more about the project and inspirations:

These include his photographic coverage of the Holi Festival and community life, as well as impactful images from the 2020 Black Lives Matter movement. He will also reflect on his historic contribution to British Vogue’s September 2020 cover, the first shot by an all-Black creative team, and his well-known portraits of Notting Hill Carnival.
