A winner, along with finalists from 14 cities, have now been chosen.\nThe contest sought pictures showing the vibrancy of city life from the 14 cities hosting Social Media Week events: Barcelona, Berlin, Bogota, Chicago, Doha, Glasgow, Hong Kong, Jeddah, London, Los Angeles, Sao Paulo, Seoul, Torino and Vancouver.\nThe winning image, the first slide in the above gallery, was taken by Berlin resident Bj\u00F6rn K\u00F6cher. The shot is of the words \"The World is Too Small for Walls,\" which were written by a graffiti artist on a remaining piece of the Berlin Wall.\n\"This image of Berlin stood out not just as a reflection of the uniqueness of the city, but also as a powerful reminder that the global movement towards open and transparent communication has roots in historical events of the past,\" said a Social Media Week blog post. \"Erected in 1961 to separate the communist controlled East Berlin from West Berlin, The Berlin Wall symbolized separation and division, a notion which to us serves as a powerful reminder of how far we have come and importance of technology and social media in helping to fight oppression and injustice.\"\nIn addition to a winner and finalists representing each city, Social Media Week chose a \"Most Artistic\" and \"Most Iconic\" shot.\nWhat image best represents life in your city?
