21st Century Temples Photography Contest

Contestants have absolute freedom to decide if the 21st century “temple” is one of the temples from the past, an already existent place that isn’t yet considered so, a place still to be built or maybe if it is just about reaching a feeling or cause a certain change in the spirits of an observer without the need of an specific structure.

The contest has a single category that must cover and represent in the best possible way the ideas formerly proposed and the projects will be evaluated according to the technical quality of the images as well as the conceptual representation of the idea expressed. Additionally, two subcategories will be awarded taking into account individually the two main evaluation criteria; this means that there will be a subcategory for technical quality and
another one for conceptual representation.
