Berlin again, with more photographers than the year before. Six themes, eighteen frames, and Philipp Wolfart winning for the second time running.
The second Berlin Urban Photo Race closed, as the first had, with an exhibition at the Wale Cafe on a Saturday evening and the winners announced in the room. The field had doubled since the first edition.
The six themes of the day were Food for the soul, Contrasts, Extravagance, Coexistence, Perspective and Almost. Philipp Wolfart, winner of the first Berlin race, won again and took two of the six themes with him; Andrew Kirkwood, a theme winner in 2015, finished second and took a theme as well.
For those who could not make the exhibition and wrote in to ask, the team put the results and every winning series online: the page this archive was read from.
