Architecture tells the story of civilizations, cultures, and human creativity—and your photographs can bring those stories to life.

Association PERSPA, based in Bourges, France, invites photographers from every corner of the world to participate in its international architectural photography competition. This annual event celebrates outstanding images that capture the beauty, character, and emotion of the built environment, encouraging photographers to reveal architecture through fresh perspectives, dramatic compositions, and creative use of light.

From towering skyscrapers and vibrant cityscapes to timeless historic buildings, elegant interior spaces, geometric details, and bold abstract forms, the competition embraces every interpretation of architectural photography. Whether your style is documentary, artistic, minimalist, or experimental, this is an opportunity to present your work to an international audience.

The competition is open to professional photographers, enthusiastic amateurs, and students aged 18 years or older. Entrants may submit either individual photographs or complete photographic series in one or more of the 18 competition categories: Abstract, Aerial, Black & White, Cityscape, Cultural, Fine Art, France, Geometry, Historic & Heritage, Human & Architecture, Industrial, Minimalism, Modern Architecture, Night & Low Light, Open Color, Real Estate, Stairs, and Symmetry.

Participants will compete for a €1,000 Grand Prize as well as Gold, Silver, and Bronze awards in every category. In addition, selected photographers may receive Honourable Mentions, publication in the prestigious PERSPA Annual Book distributed to libraries, exhibition opportunities, and official certificates awarded by the association to all winners, honourable mentions, and accepted entries.

Whether you're documenting iconic landmarks or discovering extraordinary beauty in everyday architecture, this competition offers a platform to gain international recognition and celebrate the art of architectural photography.
