[edit] The Art of Building competition
The Art of Building photography competition is an international showcase for the very best digital photography of the built environment. It is open to both professional and amateur photographers. There are two awards to be won: the Judges’ Choice and the Public’s Choice. Both winners will receive a £1500 prize.
Expert judges select the shortlisted photos to be put through to the public vote. Usually around twelve photos are selected. The public then votes for their favourite and the Public’s Choice winner will be determined. The judges also decide which from the shortlisted photos is the winner of the Judges’ Choice prize.
[edit] Art of Building public voting open
Members of the public are 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.
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.
Public voting closes on 5 January 2024 and winning photos will be announced on 12 January 2024. For more information, visit: www.artofbuilding.org

[edit] Background to the competition
The competition is run by the Chartered Institute of Building. We stand for the science, ethics and practice of the built environment across the world. Everything we do is to improve the quality of life for those using and creating the built environment.
It is the Art of Building competition that celebrates the creativity of the industry, the passion of the people who work within it, and the impact their work has on those who make use of the final construction.
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 parkin Folkstone to the ceiling of the Qeysarie Gate in Iran.
[edit] Commenting on the competition
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.”
