Photo Contest “Open Prague” 2026

Do you love Prague, architecture, and photography? You can combine your passions and take part in the photo contest “Otevřená Praha” (“Open Prague”) for the best photo from Open House Prague 2026! You don’t have to be a professional – all you need is a camera or a phone and a good eye for capturing architectural gems and moments from the festival. The contest is held in collaboration with Estav.cz, an online portal about architecture and civil engineering.

You can compete in three categories:

  1. Architecture: Space & Environment
  2. Detail: Art & Craft
  3. People: Atmosphere & Emotions

The photo contest runs from May 18 to May 24, 2026. You can sumbit your shots until Wednesday, May 27 at 12 p.m. The best photos will be selected by the jury, and the winners will be decided in a public vote on Estav.cz.
