Allora Gallery
Allora Gallery is an international art platform presenting curated exhibitions and open calls that support contemporary photographers worldwide.

About the Competition

Stone & Stories invites photographers from around the world to explore the relationship between the built environment and human life. The competition welcomes architectural photography, street photography, and works that examine cities as living archives — where stone, steel, and glass become witnesses to human stories.

From historic facades to modern structures, from monumental architecture to fleeting street moments, this open call celebrates how architecture frames daily life and how stories unfold in the spaces we inhabit.
