Now in its eighth year, Art of Building is an annual photography contest that allows photographers to show off their best images of the built environment. Organized by the Chartered Institute of Building, amateur and professional photographers from around the world submitted thousands of entries, and now voting is open to the public to decide the winner.

A panel of expert judges have selected 12 finalists, who were chosen for their excellence in composition, creativity, focus, and lighting. The public is encouraged to vote once a day until January 8, 2018 to help decide the grand prize winners. With a variety of images from around the world, the decision certainly won’t be easy.
