Architecture Interpreted by Praxis Gallery turns the built world into a stage for perception, rhythm, and memory. This international juried photo exhibition closes on November 2, 2025, with notifications on November 14, and gallery dates from December 20, 2025 to January 11, 2026. The theme embraces interiors and exteriors, historic and contemporary structures, and work that reads architecture as art rather than documentation. Fees start at $35.00 for five images and $5.00 for each additional image, with special benefits for Praxis members and limited hardship waivers. Explore it alongside other popular photography challenges online to plan your submissions this season.
Selections are juried by Ross Anderson. Up to 74 photographs will be exhibited in Minneapolis, with Juror’s Choice, Directors’ Choice, and eight Honorable Mentions highlighted on-site and online. Award perks include complimentary entries to future calls, and selected works appear in the exhibition and Praxis’s online gallery and printed show materials. If your practice tracks lines, light, and geometry, this call sits neatly within architecture photography contests.

The Categories of the Architecture Interpreted by Praxis Gallery
This call does not split entries into formal categories. Instead, it centers on a single, clearly defined theme: architecture as interpreted through perception, design, light, pattern, and structure. Submissions may be color or black & white, traditional or experimental, and can range from documentary clarity to ideas that lean toward abstract and conceptual readings of space.
