GCCA’s 6th Annual Concrete in Life Photography Competition

As one of the most widely used man-made products on the planet, concrete is essential to their lives: in their houses and offices; their roads and pavements; in the bridges that connect them; the wind farms that provide them with energy; and the sea barriers that protect them. As the sustainable building material of choice, it provides safe, durable and resilient structures as well as providing the basis for renewable energy infrastructure.
