¡HERE COMES THE SUN!
Launch: October 07, 2023
Deadline: November 06, 2023 – 11:59 CET
The competition theme is the “SUN”, or how to produce a sunny, elegant, and powerful image.
We want to challenge your storytelling skills through the light.
Sunny images are often taken for granted, but for us, they are by far the most difficult ones, and there is no better image than a fresh and crispy sunny day.
GUIDELINES
The image must be an exterior view.
The image must have a sunny light setting.
Explore the building, you can show it entirely or just a part of it.
Think about the design concept of the building and use the materials you think work best.
The 3D model is a museum in a Danish city, you will find the actual context in the file. You can either use it or change it with another urban landscape.
The competition is mandatory
