Hidden in Plain Sight - Photography Open Call
As part of this year’s Heritage Open Days (12–21 September 2025), themed Architecture, we propose a public photographic open call, inviting residents to capture and celebrate the overlooked architectural details of Luton. The initiative is designed to increase public engagement, encourage exploration of the town's built heritage, and spotlight surprising or beautiful features that often go unnoticed.
This year’s Heritage Open Days theme is Architecture – and we want you to help tell the story of Luton’s overlooked beauty.
Forget full facades – we're after the details: the tucked-away carvings, curious chimneys, old signage, or date stones you’ve never noticed before.
Your photo could be displayed at the Hat District, on our digital screens, and online during Heritage Open Days (12–21 Sept).
Selected images will be printed and shown at the Hat District – and will also feature digitally across our channels for maximum exposure.
Look up. Look down. Look again.
Submit by noon on 1 September 2025
