Nuestras Arquitectas, through this photography contest, proposes to focus and re-focus those images that have been hidden and eclipsed in order to return them to the place and the prominence those women architects deserved.

Contest object: The activity's main purpose is helping in raising awareness and recognition of the contribution of women architects in order to disseminate and socialize the architectural works produced by women to our society. In achieving this, we have organized this open international photography contest on works by women architects. Taking part in this open contest is free.

Photographs thematic: Photographs will show work and contributions by women architects or professionals of Architecture, solo architects or team-based offices. Location and building dates are not restricted so photographs can come from any part of the world and work might be built at any time.
