The Buildings:

As we are celebrating the architectural heritage of Ulster, it is important that buildings are chosen which are of architectural and historical merit and which retain their original character. We have selected buildings from Belfast and across Ulster which showcase our fantastic built heritage. We are keen for competitors to create as many different buildings as possible, so once a building has been registered we cannot accept further entries for that building. If there is a building which you are passionate about baking which does not appear on the list, you can contact us to enquire if it would be eligible.
