The Global Cement and Concrete Association (GCCA) have been running a photography competition across their social media channels and have just announced that they are extending their #ConcreteInLife2023 photography competition!
If you are interested in entering, you can now submit your photos until 31st December 2023.
The competition is open to professionals, amateurs or anyone with a smart phone. Entries can be submitted over X (Twitter) or Instagram.
To enter the competition, upload a photo of concrete in life using the hashtag #ConcreteInLife2023 along with the hashtag of the category you are entering and the photo location.
This year’s entry categories are:
- #UrbanConcrete?– images of the city landscapes and buildings around us, both well-known and hidden away.
- #ConcreteInfrastructure?– photographs of our infrastructure, in our cities and rural, above and below ground.
- #ConcreteInDailyLife?– the human side of concrete and how it’s used and interacted with daily.
- #ConcreteBeautyAndDesign?– showcasing beautiful uses concrete in the world around us – such as stunningly designed buildings, sculptures or landmarks.
This year, there is no amateur and professional distinction.
The winning photo will receive $10,000 and the remaining category winners will each receive $2,500. This year the GCCA have also introduced a brand new “peoples vote” category for a special $5000 prize. This will ask the public to vote for their favourite photo from the shortlist, with the aim of increasing the reach of people who see our competition as our shortlist encourages their followers to vote for them.
The winners will be announced in early 2024.
