PARIS - April 20, 2026 - PRLog -- Association PERSPA (n° W181008908), a registered cultural association in Bourges, France, has announced the opening of entries for the inaugural Prix de la Perspective Architecturale (PERSPA) 2026, an international photography competition dedicated exclusively to architectural perspective.

The competition invites professional, amateur, and student photographers aged 18 and over from around the world to submit their finest architectural photography across 18 categories, including Cityscape, Minimalism, Geometry, Historic & Heritage, Fine Art, Aerial, Stairs, Symmetry, Night & Low Light, and more. Both single images and series are accepted.

"Architecture is everywhere, but perspective is personal," said the PERSPA organising team. "We created this award to give architectural photographers a dedicated platform — one that treats their discipline with the seriousness and visibility it deserves."

PRIZES & RECOGNITION

The Overall Winner receives a €1,000 cash prize. Gold, Silver, and Bronze awards are given in each of the 18 categories, along with Honourable Mentions. All winners, honourable mentions, and accepted entries receive an official certificate issued by Association PERSPA.

Winning and selected works will be published in the PERSPA Annual Book, a curated publication distributed to libraries. Selected works will also be featured in the PERSPA online winners gallery, with physical exhibition opportunities currently in development.
