Y/OUR Denver Photo Competition 2025: Architecture and Nature in Harmony 

Submit by July 11, 2025

The Denver Architecture Foundation (DAF) and the Colorado Photographic Arts Center (CPAC) are pleased to announce the Y/OUR Denver 2025 Photo Competition: Architecture and Nature in Harmony.

Doors Open Denver 2025 will celebrate the places and the people of our city that best represent this year’s theme “Architecture and Nature in Harmony.” Photographers of all skill levels are invited to submit new or older images of architectural spaces in Denver for this juried competition. With this concept in mind, we encourage exploration of the vital relationship between the built environment and the natural world in Denver’s unique setting. All forms of architectural imagery are welcome: black & white, color, exterior, interiors, landscape architecture, and detail images. Thirty images will be showcased in an online exhibition on the DAF and CPAC websites, along with an exhibition at the Chancery during the opening evening of Doors Open Denver on Thursday, September 25, 2025.
