Hidden in Plain Sight - Photography Open Call

We’re inviting you to submit your photo of an architectural detail that caught your eye. This could be anything from an ornate vent, tiled step, or faded sign, to a curious carving or metalwork feature. We're not looking for full building shots – just those “oh wow!” close-ups we often miss. To mark this year’s Heritage Open Days (12–21 September), we’re inviting you to capture the often-overlooked details that make Luton’s architecture special. From old tiles to curious cornices – what hidden stories will you uncover? Your photo on our walls, on our screens, and online. Join our Heritage Open Days photo open call!
