[edit] Stunning images make final shortlist for coveted CIOB photography competition
Fifteen fabulous photos showcasing the true beauty behind the world’s built environment have been selected as a final shortlist for the coveted Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) photography award.
The pictures, snapped using smartphones and professional-grade camera equipment, range from a multi-storey skate park in Folkstone to the ceiling of the Qeysarie Gate in Iran.
Members of the public will now be asked to vote for their favourite image to help decide the winner of the free Art of Building Public Choice award. CIOB’s panel of judges will also select a winning entry submitted to scoop a separate Judges’ Choice prize.
[edit] Head of Communications at CIOB announces public voting process underway
Saul Townsend, Head of Communications at CIOB, said:
"Once again, we have been blown away by this series of stunning images which really showcase the built environment in all its glory. From those who are revealing a little-known building to those showcasing a familiar icon in a new light."
"Picking a final shortlist of 15 photos for the Public Choice award was extremely difficult given the number of worthy entries we received but we are now in a position to begin the voting process. While myself and a team of panellists get to work on deciding the winner of the Judges Choice award, it’s down to you to pick your favourite image for the Public Choice prize and I want to urge as many people to take part as possible."
Saul continued: “It is great to see such a global selection of images once again as this shows the worldwide appeal the Art of Building contest has. Photography is a brilliant way to showcase the wonder and importance of our built world, and this competition sets out to inspire more photographers to tell their stories. I would like to wish the very best of luck to all the finalists and say a huge thank you to everyone who submitted a photograph to this year’s competition.”
[edit] Further information and how to vote
The voting process started on November 30 and you can vote for your favourite image on the Art of Building website. A cash prize of £1,500 is up for grabs for the winners of both the Public Choice and Judges’ Choice awards.
