Concrete in Life 2024/2025

Welcome to the GCCA’s 6th annual Concrete in Life photography competition, following the huge success of our 2023 competition! 21,000 of you entered and we received global recognition from the BBC, Forbes and Dezeen.

As one of the most widely used man-made products on the planet, concrete is essential to our lives: in our houses and offices; our roads and pavements; in the bridges that connect us; the wind farms that provide us with energy; and the sea barriers that protect us. As the sustainable building material of choice, it provides safe, durable and resilient structures as well as providing the basis for renewable energy infrastructure.

Concrete in Life is our annual photography competition, open to all photographers (or anyone with a camera phone) around the world. It tasks you to take photos of concrete in your life for a chance to win up to $10,000.

Entering the competition is simple. Just upload a photo of concrete using the hashtag #ConcreteInLife2425, the hashtag # of the category you are entering and the hashtag # of the country you took the photo in (full entry details below).

Entries will be judged by our judging panel – our shortlist will be revealed later this year and winners will be announced in early 2025.

We are also excited to have our People’s Choice award, where the public will vote for their favourite photo from our shortlist.

The competition closes on 30th November 2024
