CBRE is accepting submissions for its 2012 Urban Photographer of the Year Competition, "Cities at Work."

The Urban Photographer of the Year will be the person who, in the eyes of the judges, has best captured the life of a town or city at a given time of day.

While the photograph does not necessarily have to be taken at that specific time of day, it does need to look as though it was. For example, a photograph could capture London at 4 a.m., Lisbon at 2 p.m. or Dubai at 9 p.m. Participants can enter a photograph for each hour of the day, allowing a maximum of 24 submissions.

The first-place winner will receive a photo safari vacation that includes seven nights' accommodation.
