The Annual Enr Photographs Contest is a pictorial democracy without politics. Almost anyone can present. A group of judges orders the entrances, and then the cover photo is chosen by you, our readers, in a vote.
What enters through the loading portal of the presentation of the contest often gives me. I don’t see communications every year. Much of my time, I am rolled around a laptop or through the telephone messages with the eye towards complex construction discomforts that can cause problems.
I pass a much happier fraction of my time sorting the construction photos available by the ENR of Associated Press and files like Getty to use them with stories. These photos, often taken by professionals, rarely equal and almost never exceed the quality of the communications of the photo contest.
For me, the communications of the photo contest offer a visual tour of the multitude of projects and the parts of project and people who work, which I will never see how much I work in this magazine. Sometimes, and I am serious, the building under construction is more beautiful for me than when it ends. Sometimes the water treatment plant is more lovely with its valves and its not yet connected veins.
Since the start of the contest, I wanted to take and send a photo to the Contest Enr. This will never happen, because staff is not allowed. Although we were, I am not a photographer as good as our contestants. Take a look at the photo of this page and all the winners last year at Enr.com/articles/60228. The winning images come from all corners of the construction verse. In my opinion, there could be no better.
In the meantime, now is the time to plan and prepare for your shipments, or for the photo you have had an idea, but you have never done yet. Tickets will be presented next month: The photos must have taken between October 1, 2024 and November 30, 2025. Remember that you must have rights/permission to send the photo of the photographer/rights holder. Limit the photo size A no more than 16 MB and ensure -you are in JPG, PNG or GIF format. Enter your photos on Enr.com/photocontest.
Each of them will be seen by our jury and, in my opinion, while only some of the photos are printed and published, there is really no loser.
