Concrete in Life Global Photography Competition

Open to amateurs and professional photographers alike, or just anyone with a smartphone, over a hundred thousand people have entered the competition over the years, capturing stunning photos from across the world.

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.

Entering couldn’t be simpler. Just post your picture on Instagram with the hashtags of the competition and the category you are entering.

Good luck!
