Leicestershire & Rutland Society of Architects in collaboration with Design Season 2 and LCB Depot invites you to enter the #lovearchitecture architectural photography competition. This competition aims to celebrate outstanding photographs of the built environment within the Leicestershire and Rutland area.

Judges are looking for photographs that are striking, interesting and showcase the built environment within this region. Successful images will communicate a visual narrative, and be creative. Photographs can be of elements of a building or whole street scenes. The aim of this competition is to uncover images that showcase what this region has to offer in terms or architecture, and to give the opportunity to photographers whose work might otherwise never be seen.

The competition is open to all. Free entry.
Deadline 5pm Friday 6 September. T&Cs and entry form available here
