In the Photography, category, we are looking for series of four images that manage to treat, through a critical observation, the theme of this year's biennial cover me softly.
In the three editions held between 2015-2017, the Octavian Radu Topai Award (PORT) aimed to pay homage to the young architect and to question aspects of modern and contemporary Romanian architecture. Octavian Radu Topai was a young architect and photographer who died in 2014 in a tragic mountain accident. Starting with the Beta 2020 edition of the Competition Exhibition, the Photography category has been introduced in his memory. We want to integrate also this year, in Beta 2024, the category dedicated to architectural photography, which will be open to Romania, Hungary and Serbia.
