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.
