Exterior

Part of The Architectural Photography Awards 2022

Open Judging Results
Brief

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.​

Winners in the Architectural Photography Awards will share a $4,250 (USD) cash prize fund, and gain exposure through the World Architecture Festival.

There are three awards in the competition – the Overall award, the Portfolio category award, and the Mobile category award – with two winners in each.

In the overall award, the jury's chosen winner will take home $2,000, and the WAF delegates' winner will receive $1,000.

The jury's portfolio winner will receive $750, and the WAF delegates' portfolio winner will win $250.
