Architectural Photographer of the Year 2018 A new annual competition
Clive Arrowsmith
Architecture is all around us; virtually everywhere we go there is some kind of building, structure or space. Photography is now the most accessible format of recording our lives especially with the development of the smart phone. The Museum of Bath Architecture is exploring the intrinsic link between Architecture and Photography and the way in which people engage in the built environment through photos. As such we want to see how others interpret buildings and man-made structures.
The competition has two main categories: 1. Open Architecture (split into Adult & Junior sections) looking at photography of architecture taken anywhere in the world. Be bold, be creative! 2. The city of Bath UK. Open to all ages this category looks at the wonderful architecture of this World Heritage Site City. 3. The people’s Choice. Crowd voted for via www.photocrowd.com The top ten selected images will be printed and framed for display at the 2019 exhibition at the Museum of Bath Architecture; after the exhibition these will be offered to the successful entrants. Prizes will be awarded to first place winners from each category.

Architectural Photographer of the Year 2018 Your sponsorship helps us ensure the future of our museums The Museum of Bath Architecture is housed in the Countess of Huntingdon’s Chapel, built in 1765 for Selina Hastings, Countess of Huntingdon. Itself a fascinating building, the chapel now houses a unique museum exploring the rich architectural history of Bath and its transformation from a medieval walled provincial town into a world famous Georgian city. The Museum also houses the Bath Preservation Trust's archives, reference library and the office of its campaigning team. All of which are accessible to the public. Beckford’s Tower was built in 1827 for William Beckford (1760-1844). It is Tower is now home to a museum collection displaying furniture originally made for the Tower, alongside paintings, prints and objects illustrating William Beckford’s life as a writer, collector and patron of the arts. Visitors can follow in Beckford’s footsteps and climb the spiral staircase (pictured) to the beautifully restored Belvedere and experience the spectacular panoramic views of Bath. The Herschel Museum of Astronomy is dedicated to the many achievements of William and Caroline Herschel, who were distinguished astronomers as well as talented musicians. 19 New King Street is where William Herschel discovered the planet Uranus in March 1781. What makes this achievement even more remarkable is that Herschel was a self-taught amateur astronomer, who built his own telescopes at home. sible to the public.
No.1 Royal Crescent was designed by John Wood the Younger in 1767 and the first house to be built in the Royal Crescent. It reveals what life was like for Bath’s fashionable residents in the late 18th Century - both upstairs and downstairs
