An iconic piece of architecture recognized around the world, the Sydney Opera House (above) was designed by Danish architect, Jørn Utzon, following a 1956 competition that attracted 222 competition entries.
Budget Direct Australia and NeoMam Studios have generated images for seven rejected proposals for the venue. Here are three of the spectacular runners up:
