Geoquest to Launch Photography Competition with $2,000 Prize Pool
Framing precast and retaining in infrastructure – Capturing form, scale, and presence in context through photography
Infrastructure shapes our communities. Now it’s time to put it in the frame. We’re launching the Geoquest Photography Competition, opening 1st September.
Celebrating the engineering excellence, scale and visual presence of infrastructure across Australia and New Zealand. Geoquest is inviting photographers to put infrastructure in the frame, offering a total prize pool of $2,000, the competition celebrates the creativity, scale and engineering excellence found in infrastructure projects.
Supported by the National Precast Concrete Association Australia (NPCAA), the competition will feature two categories:
- Best Precast Concrete Structure in Infrastructure – $1,000 prize
- Best Retaining Structure in Infrastructure – $1,000 prize
The competition will be open to all Australian and New Zealand residents and entries do not need to feature a Geoquest project or solution. Photographers may submit existing photography or newly captured images, with a maximum of three entries per person (applications accepted from individuals only).
Entries will be judged primarily on photographic merit, with the judging panel looking for visual impact, composition, originality, use of light and materiality, and the relationship between infrastructure and the surrounding landscape. Technical project context will support, but not determine, judging outcomes.
Entries open 1st September 2026 and close on 17 January 2027, with winners to be announced at the NPCAA National Conference in March 2027.
Whether you’re a professional photographer, engineer, contractor or infrastructure enthusiast, this is your opportunity to showcase the projects shaping our communities and gain industry-wide recognition.
Applications open 1 September 2026. Full competition details and entry information will be available on the Geoquest website.
