Full Contest Brief
Categories
The overall winner of The Arch2O Photography contest is chosen from the four main categories. There is a separate portfolio prize, and a mobile photography category prize.
Exterior photography
Images in ‘Exterior’ should show the outside of a building. Consider the form of that building, consider the materials and the quality of light. What is special about it? When only one shot of a building is selected for press it is usually the exterior. The challenge for this single exterior shot is for it to define the building.

Interior photography
Images in ‘Interior’ should show the inside of a building, effectively communicating the space. Interiors are made up of a series of spaces, punctuated by light and utilized for a purpose

Buildings in Use
‘Buildings in Use’ images should show occupied buildings and populated exteriors. Each building has a specific purpose and creates areas of activity. These images should combine the activity with the architecture and not distract from it

Sense of Place
The ‘Sense of Place’ category should show buildings or spaces in their wider context and environment. Illustrate if the building blends or jars with its surroundings. Is the building typical of its location? Is the building in an atmosphere, a mist or rain?
