2023 Edition

Architecture is more than famous landmarks and iconic buildings that we all know. It is also about the hidden gems, the forgotten stories, and the everyday structures that surround our lives and shape our city.

In this architectural photography competition, we challenge you to look beyond the obvious and capture the overlooked architecture that deserves more attention and appreciation. You might discover some surprising examples of architectural innovation, history, or beauty in unexpected places!

建築物除了可以是大眾所熟識的著名標誌外，它也塑造是我們城市中的日常生活空間，當中有不少隱藏的瑰寶和被遺忘的故事。

在本次建築攝影比賽中，我們向您發起挑戰，在著名建築和標誌背後，找出捕捉那些值得更多關注和欣賞，但卻常被大眾忽視的建築空間。您將會在意想不到的地方發現一些令人驚訝的建築創意、歷史訊息或美景！
