Vote now for your favorite 2015 Art of Building photography finalist!

By Bustler Editors|

Friday, Dec 18, 2015

"Half Life" by Nikola Filipov. Taken in London.

Launched by the Chartered Institute of Building in 2010, the Art of Building is the biggest architectural photography competition of its kind. The free-to-enter international contest showcases the best digital photos of the built environment.

During a time when anyone can be a photographer, the competition attracts thousands of entries from around the globe. The pool is first narrowed down to a shortlist of about 200 entries in the first round of judging. Then, a second 3-person panel of judges — which consists of professional photographers and photography critics and buyers — select the final 12 photos.

Starting today until January 23, the public can vote online to decide which finalist photo will scoop up the £3,000 grand prize. To say the least, the photos are stunning. The winner will be revealed February 8.

Take a gander at the finalist photos below. Which one will you vote for?
