This year’s competition attracted thousands of entries, with more than 70% coming from outside of the UK.

CIOB competition organiser Saul Townsend said: "The breadth of photography we see is amazing. From those who are revealing a little-known building to those showcasing a familiar icon in a new light. Best of luck to all our finalists."
