The Art of Building Photography Competition, 2018

The Art of Building photography competition is an international showcase for the very best digital photography of the built environment.

The competition is run by the Chartered Institute of Building and celebrates the creativity of the industry, the passion of the people who work within it, and the impact their work has on those who make use of the final construction.

If you have a good eye for a photograph and are passionate about the built environment then take part in this year’s Art of Building competition. Previous winners have been featured on the BBC website, throughout the UK national press and in international titles across the globe.

There are three categories in this competition:

Architecture
Focusing on the design and style of the built environment this category celebrates everything from the small details that make up a structure to entire cityscapes.

Conservation and Heritage
Cultures around the world are often described by their built environment. This category celebrates the poetry of old buildings and showcases their relevance into today’s modern world.

Human interaction
Entries in this category capture the story of how people interact with buildings. From those who build our infrastructure to those who live, work or play alongside the built environment.
