Contests
ENR Photo Contest
ENR invites readers to submit photos to its annual “The Year in Construction” photo contest in the fall. Each year ENR asks our picture-taking readers — individuals and firms, amateurs and pros — to submit their best construction photos taken anywhere in the world during the past year. We look for dynamic and well-composed photos; but only those that show safe working conditions and behavior. A panel of ENR and guest judges select the best of the best photos submitted for publication in ENR. The winning photos are published each January. You can find more details about the contest and view past ENR Year in Construction winners here: https://www.enr.com/Year-In-Construction-Photo-Contest.
