This year marks the 9th annual Architectura Obscura annual open photography competition!
The competition is sponsored by the American Institute of Architects, Central Valley Chapter (AIACV), Comstock’s Magazine, VisitSacramento and Dreyfuss + Blackford Architecture.
The purpose of the competition is to highlight the value and impact of architecture, both globally and within the Sacramento region, through the submission of high-quality printed and electronic images. Through photography, this competition raises public awareness in the built environment and celebrates design.
Images submitted to the competition must have an architectural theme, or contain an element of the human-made environment.
The competition has two distinct categories to allow for a broad range of photographic interests. The categories are:
- Gallery Submissions – In alignment with our previous competitions, this constitutes submission of physical prints along with digital copies for publication (Award: Cash)
- Digital Media (Instagram) Submissions – We started this new category in 2016 to allow entirely digital submissions through Instagram (Award: Gift Cards)
