Billed as the world’s greatest photo game, GuruShots (opens in new tab) is an online platform that provides a fun, structured way to showcase your images while gaining global exposure for your work.
By competing in epic challenges against millions of photographers, you can get instant feedback from over three billion monthly votes and increase your ranking from Newbie to achieve the ultimate status (and bragging rights) of Guru.
GuruShots’ challenges are voted on by the platform’s Gurus and the wider community, and there’s a fresh challenge every day. Winners can receive prizes from GuruShots’ sponsors such as Adorama, Kodak, Lowepro and Lensbaby.
Architecture is a fantastic subject for photography. With the Art of Architecture Challenge, we wanted to see how you captured the tones and textures of buildings, representing them as works of art and long-lasting cultural symbols.
The winning images didn’t disappoint, and we enjoyed seeing everything from abstract patterns to black and white masterpieces. We recommend scrolling through the images to see how all the top photographers interpreted the brief.
The 20 highest ranked images will be published in Photography Week Magazine (opens in new tab), and we’re pleased to showcase these images below, along with the rest of the top featured photographs in the gallery that follows.
