A clear framework for architectural photographs with a point of view.
These rules are here to protect photographers, keep judging fair, and make the submission process calm. Read them before entering so your work, billing details, rights, and category choices are all prepared with confidence.
Enter with clarity, not confusion.
PERSPA, Prix de la Perspective Architecturale, is built for images that understand architecture as more than a subject. We look for perspective, atmosphere, geometry, human scale, material, memory, and the way a photograph can make built space felt.
The rules below explain what may be entered, how payments and invoices are recorded, how the jury reviews work, and how selected images may be published. They are written plainly so the award feels serious without becoming difficult to use.
