Welcome to the GCCA’s 7th annual Concrete in Life photography competition.

Entering the competition is simple. Just upload a photo of concrete using the hashtag #ConcreteInLife2526, the hashtag of the category you are entering, and the hashtag of the country you took the photo in (full entry details below).

ELIGIBILITY:

There are 4 categories in this competition:

Urban design and use: #UrbanConcrete—images of the city landscapes and buildings around us, both well-known and hidden away

Concrete Infrastructure: #ConcreteInfrastructure—photographs of our infrastructure, in our cities and rural areas, above and below ground.

Concrete in Daily Life: #ConcreteInDailyLife—the human side of concrete and how it’s used and interacted with daily.

Beauty and Design: #ConcreteBeautyAndDesign—showcasing beautiful uses of concrete in the world around us—such as stunningly designed buildings, sculptures or landmarks.

To enter:

Take a photo of concrete in your life and upload it to Instagram or X. Include the following information:

#ConcreteInLife2526

The hashtag # of the category you are entering—see above (one per photo)

The hashtag # of the country where you took the photo

You can also email us your entry concreteinlife@gccassociation.org

You can enter as many photos as you like, but each one can only be considered for one category.

Remember to make your photo public on Instagram or we won’t be able to view your photos.

There are no amateur or professional categories.

Entries will be judged by our judging panel—our shortlist will be revealed later this year, and winners will be announced in early 2026.

They will also be running the People’s Choice category, where the public will vote for their favourite photo from our shortlist.

Show what concrete means to you. Good luck!
