Each year, visitors are invited to capture the city’s most remarkable architectural places and spaces by entering the Brisbane Open House Photography Competition.

Entries celebrate the creativity, and character of Brisbane’s built environment — see our winning entries from 2025 here.

Prizes are awarded across four categories, with an Overall Winner selected from entries across all categories.

Building — Exterior
Celebrate architectural form through striking images of a building’s façade, shape, and scale.

Building — Interior
Focus on light, materials, spatial design, and atmosphere inside a space.

Building — Detail
Highlight craftsmanship, ornamentation, or clever architectural elements.=
