architekturbild, the European Architectural Photography Prize, has been awarded on a two-yearly basis since 1995. Since 2003, the prize has been awarded by architekturbild e.v., a non-profit organization, and since 2008 in cooperation with the DAM. The photographs submitted by the prize-winners and the 25 runners-up will be presented in an exhibition in the DAM.

Theme of the current Call for entries is »Focus of Attention«. Whether or not to focus on a particular detail in a picture, and if so which one, is among the elementary principles of photographic composition. This year‘s theme »Focus of Attention« thus has a universal significance for photographers. We recommend taking common parlance as a guide – focusing on things, states or situations that draw public attention. The theme should be explored in series of four photographs.

Closing date for entries: Monday, 17 December 2012.
