About the Competition
Concrete in Life is an annual photography competition, open to all photographers (or anyone with a camera phone) around the world. It asks you to take photos of concrete in your life for a chance to win up to $10,000.
Entering the competition is simple. Just upload a photo of concrete using the hashtag #ConcreteInLife2023 and the hashtag of the category you are entering (full entry details below).
Entries will be judged by a judging panel – the shortlist will be revealed later this year and winners will be announced in early 2024.
New for this year is a People’s Choice award, where the public will vote for their favorite photo from the shortlist.
Categories
- Urban Design and Use: #UrbanConcrete – images of the city landscapes and buildings around, both well-known and hidden away.
- Concrete Infrastructure: #ConcreteInfrastructure – photographs of infrastructure, in cities and rural, above and below ground.

Prizes

To celebrate their 5th year there will be a people’s vote, where the public will vote for their favorite photo from the shortlist. The winner will receive a prize of $5000.
If you win two or more prizes you will only be awarded the value of the highest prize, not both.
