CIOB Art of Building photo contest 2024
[edit] Photography contest to showcase the best of the world’s built environment
Photographers who showcase the beauty of the built environment are set to go head-to-head in the Chartered Institute of Building’s (CIOB) coveted annual photography contest. The Art of Building competition, which is free to enter, opened for entries on 11 October, 2024 and will see thousands of amateur and professional snappers across the globe submit their favourite photographs.
Saul Townsend, Head of Communications at CIOB, said:
“Buildings are much more than just structures which we use, they are works of art which shape the landscape of our cities and communities. They speak about our culture and the people using them. The Art of Building competition gives both budding and experienced photographers a platform to showcase building artistry and share it around the globe.”
A panel of judges will shortlist the top submissions when the contest closes on 25 November. Members of the public will then be able to select the best image for the Public Choice award while the judges will also select someone to be crowned as the Judges’ Choice winner.
Winners in each category will take home a whopping £1,500 cash prize and see their artwork showcased at construction sites around the world.
Saul added: “Each year, the standard of entries gets better and better and it becomes increasingly difficult for us to pick a shortlist – let alone a winner. As judges, we’re looking forward to being shown something new and we encourage anyone who plans to enter this year’s contest to express themselves through their photography.”
The winning shot of last year’s Public Choice award was captured by Bangladesh’s Azim Khan Ronnie, who submitted a stunning image of the National Mosque of Bangladesh. Meanwhile, Belgium’s Alain Schroeder’s image titled Bricks – also captured in Bangladesh – scooped the Judges’ Choice crown.
The Art of Building competition is open to anyone over 18 years of age and the deadline for entry is 25 November 2024. The two winning entries will be announced on 22 January 2025.
