We all experience the world in different ways, but it is impossible to go through a single day without in some way interacting with buildings and the built environment. This competition is a chance to take a step back and appreciate the world you live in, and the moments of magic that architecture can create.
CATEGORIES & BRIEF
The competition is split into three different categories:
Building + Change
How has architecture, or any built structure changed the feel of a particular place? How does a new building or structure change the way you look an existing space?
Building + Nature
Buildings and nature are constantly interacting with each other. Sometimes this is planned, and sometimes it is by chance. Where have you seen nature and architecture come together to create something spectacular?
Building + People
Buildings exist as a way of creating different spaces and environments for people to use. Can you find an example that perfectly sums up this relationship?
All photos must be taken in Gloucestershire and must include at least one building or built structure.
Use of editing software will be accepted, and photos taken on a camera phone are also acceptable. All photographs which have been edited post printing all also be accepted.
