CONCRETE
Thomas Guillot, Chief Executive of the GCCA, comments:“ The spectacular images submitted this year show concrete’ s positive impact on people’ s lives all over the world – sometimes practical, sometimes almost hidden, and sometimes very beautiful.”
The Concrete in Life Photo of the Year 2025 / 26, receiving the top prize of $ 10 000, was awarded to Celbert Palaganas for Pillars Across the Sea, taken in Cebu City, the Philippines. The image captures coastal plants in the foreground, while the Cebu – Cordova Link Expressway, the longest bridge in the Philippines, stretches across the horizon, creating a contrast between nature and engineering.
