We are pleased to announce PlanGrid’s 5th Annual Axe Contest! The Axe Contest is a yearly PlanGrid tradition to compete for the ultimate prize: a Best Made axe.
For this year’s contest, the theme is “Behind the Build.” We are so used to seeing construction in our daily lives, sometimes it is easy to overlook the intricacies of our trade. From towering cranes and innovative building structures, to the actual boots on the ground raising the offices we sit in, construction is everywhere. The work it takes to produce such feats is nothing short of incredible, and we want to share inspiring stories of projects through photos. Whether it’s capturing people, your team on a job site, or the finished project, we want you to show us what’s behind your project—from plan to completion. Keep reading for details on how to enter!
