: This week's city photo contest was perhaps our most far-reaching contest yet, with entries from all over the world. These are the 10 top-rated submissions and they definitely put the urban back in urbane. Giant Ginkgo takes the gold with a voyeuristic view of a dense office building. Ginkgo will be receiving a subscription to Wired magazine and a digital picture frame.
Since there were so many great photos that we thought should've received more votes, we've also compiled a Wired.com Editor's Choice City Photo Gallery.
Our next twice-monthly photo contest is parties. We want you to prove that Wired.com readers know how to throw down on the dance floor. Check out the contest page for more information.
