While each regional ENR editor strives to notify firms individually about editorial opportunities in ENR’s regional publications, every so often an email address is missed or a reminder doesn’t reach the intended recipient. This guide is intended to provide an overview of current and upcoming editorial opportunities, rankings and call for entries in the regional editions.

The best way to keep up-to-date with upcoming editorial opportunities is by subscribing to and reading each region's bi-weekly e-newsletter. You can sign up for the free ENR California newsletter (or any other region you might be interested in) here: http://programs.construction.com/forms/newsletters

We also announce opportunities via Twitter. Follow ENR_CA on twitter at https://twitter.com/ENR_CA.

Sometimes our email reminders come from different email addresses at McGraw Hill. In case our notifications were sent to spam, make sure @mhfi.com and @mcgraw-hill.com are approved/safe domains in your spam settings. For our top list surveys, confirmation emails come from @enrsurveys.opinioninsight.com.

We also publicize our various surveys and opportunities throughout the year on our website, http://california.construction.com/. You can access other regions via the dropdown at the top of the page.

Some upcoming opportunities you might be interested in include:

Top Specialty Contractors Ranking — this ranking is for contractors who specialize in trades such as concrete, electrical, demolition, excavation, etc. You can also participate if you self-perform these trades.
