There’s stunning architecture all over the world, waiting to be explored and photographed and admired by people everywhere. That’s precisely the aim of the #Architecture2020 contest launched by the Agora app – to “discover some of the most impressive buildings the world has to offer”.

More than 10,000 pictures have been uploaded onto the app by professionals and amateurs alike. Each picture was then voted by the global community in a democratic process where “everyone can participate, vote, win” to identify the fifty finalists. Among them, the winner was selected – gaining both the title #Architecture2020 Hero and the $1000 cash prize.

You can see a selection of the finalists in the gallery below, and head over to Agora to see the full range of pictures at the link here.
