Join us for a visual exploration of the fascinating coexistence between animals and urban spaces in our upcoming photographic project URBAN ANIMALS. Presented by dotART and Exhibit Around APS, organizers of the Trieste Photo Days international photography festival, we invite photographers from around the world to participate in this exciting open call, showcasing the unique stories of animals living alongside us in our cities.

­ ­ Urban ANIMALS aims to explore the fascinating intersection between the animal world and urban spaces, documenting the stories of coexistence that unfold daily in our cities. From pigeons inhabiting historic squares to cats claiming hidden corners, from pets redefining living spaces to wildlife adapting to urban life, this project seeks to showcase the diverse ways animals thrive in our cities. Following the success of previous projects such as "PLAY! Let the Game Begin" and "WOW - Worlds of Women," which garnered thousands of images from around the globe, URBAN ANIMALS will culminate in a major photographic volume and an international exhibition at Trieste Photo Days 2025.

­ ­ We’re calling photographers from around the world! Whether you have a single shot or an entire project dedicated to the animals that roam our cities—domestic, wild, or somewhere in between—we want your perspective. Selected photographers will be part of an exciting international exhibition at Trieste Photo Days and have the chance to be featured in a prominent photographic volume, showcasing the unique and often unseen stories of animals living alongside us in urban spaces.
