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.​

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

Transport Hubs & Bridges

A transport hub is a place where passengers and cargo are exchanged between vehicles and/or between transport modes. Public transport hubs include railway stations, rapid transit stations, bus stops, tram stops, airports and ferry slips and could extend to car parks, cycle and scooter facilities.
