Architectural Heritage Center

3rd Annual Photo Contest:
Angels in the Architecture

This year’s photo contest – supported again by our friends at Pro Photo Supply - encourages you to take the time to really look at the artistry in our built environment.  Photographers of all sorts are invited to submit their images of architectural details they find imaginative, surprising, or eloquent in and on historic homes or buildings in the Portland area.  Capture the “angels in the architecture” you might miss if you were rushing too fast.

Winning entries and seven Honorable Mention photographs will be unveiled at the Central Eastside Arts District First Friday Art Walk on September 5th. 

The entry deadline is August 16th.
