Photo Competition 2025

Are you ready to showcase your creative eye and celebrate the craft of conservation architecture?

We are excited to announce our 2025 Photo Competition, inviting entries under the theme: Architect at Work.

Whether it’s a dramatic on-site moment, a quiet detail sketch, a team mid-discussion, or an architect inspecting a building at dawn, we want to see how you capture the essence of conservation practice in action.

We're seeking photographs that creatively reflect:

  • The hands-on nature of an Architects conservation work
  • Architects engaged in the process — be it surveying, drawing, discussing, or on-site problem-solving
  • The built environment through the lens of thoughtful preservation and repair
  • Behind-the-scenes moments that often go unseen

Whether you’re a professional photographer, a student, or someone who simply snapped a powerful moment with your phone, all are encouraged to submit!

How to Enter

  • Deadline for Entries: 31 December 2025
  • How to Enter: Email your photo(s) to administrator@aabc-register.co.uk with the subject line “AABC Photo Competition 2025”
  • What to Include:
    • Your name,
    • Name and Location of the Building and
    • Your Instagram Username
  • Maximum of 3 entries per person

The competition is open to both AABC members and non-members, so feel free to invite friends and colleagues to participate!

Prizes and Recognition

The winning photograph will be featured on the AABC website and celebrated in our Spring 2026 AABC Newsletter. The winner will also receive a cash prize of £200. This is a fantastic opportunity to showcase your work to a community passionate about architecture and conservation.
