Shortlist for Architectural Photography Awards 2018

As in previous years, the shortlisted entries will be exhibited at WAF, which takes place 28-30 November in Amsterdam. WAF visitors can cast votes for their favorite photo in four categories: Buildings in Use, Exterior, Interior, and Sense of Place. For the first time, the awards also include Mobile and Portfolio categories, but those are pre-judged with the winners announced at the WAF Gala dinner on November 30th, at the same time as the people's choice winners selected from the shortlist below.
