In collaboration with the Copenhagen Photo Festival, Fang din By - Capture Your City - is an annual photographic competition and exhibition at the Danish Architecture Center that is now in it's seventh year.

Over 5,300 photographs were submitted and the 56 images for the exhibition were selected by a jury that included the photographer Helena Christensen; the novelist and illustrator Maren Uthaug; the CEO of Copenhagen Photo Festival, Maja Dyrehauge; the photographer, Anders Hjerning and, from the Danish Architecture Center, Tanya Lindkvist.

The theme for the competition this year was Soul of the City and photographers were asked to show "how architecture forms the framework of the lived life."

The winner of the open competition was Tanja Zhigalova with a striking photograph of a woman sitting on the steps of Vor Frue Kirke in the shadow of one of the bronze statues on the west front.

There was a separate competition for schools and first place was awarded to Kaya Lund Jørum who is a pupil at Stokkebækskolen.
