Welcome to the second edition of the GCCA “Concrete in Life” global photography competition.
As one of the most widely used man-made products on the planet, concrete is all around us: 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.
With this competition, we want to inspire you to celebrate the vital role that concrete plays in our world, its versatility, strength, durability, and sustainability.
Entry categories
The competition is open to professional and amateur photographers alike, and entrants can submit their photos into four categories:
Urban design and use #UrbanConcrete
Images of the city landscapes and buildings around us, both well-known and hidden away – from the Sydney Opera House to the tower block you might have grown up in.
Infrastructure #ConcreteInfrastructure
Photographs of our infrastructure, in our cities and rural areas, above and below ground: highways, bridges, airports, stations and dams, let’s celebrate the concrete buildings supporting and enabling our vibrant lifestyles.
Concrete in daily life #ConcreteInDailyLife

Concrete on video #ConcreteinLifeVideo

The overall Best “Concrete in Life” Photo of the Year winner will win a USD $10,000 prize and a trip to join the Photography Competition Awards Dinner at the GCCA conference in Singapore on 10th October.
