Architecture and the Built Environment/Open

Competition

March 9, 2020, 7:30pm

Newton Senior Center

​

Judge: Andrea Foggle Plotkin

See galley of winning images. 

​

The built environment surrounds us, yet so often our experience of it is fleeting. This competition seeks photographs of human-built structures of any scale, function or setting - urban, suburban or rural. Images of entire buildings, or details of one or several, can be submitted. The subject and primary focus must be architectural and contain elements of the built environment, even if flora, fauna, or humans are included.  Compelling, provocative interpretations, rather than simply unique structures, will be assessed.

​

See our Competitions page for general information and submission specifications.
