NC YSN PHOTO CONTEST — SHOW US SURVEYING THROUGH YOUR LENS!
North Carolina’s young surveyors are out there every day—setting control before sunrise, cutting through the woods, working on jobsites, traveling across the state, and occasionally stopping long enough to realize the view is pretty incredible.
The NC Young Surveyors Network Photo Contest is your chance to show what surveying looks like from your perspective.
We’re looking for photos that capture the people, places, equipment, and experiences that make this profession what it is. Field crews, cool control points, total stations against a sunrise, unusual project locations, great views, or just those moments in the field that deserve to be shared.
Capture. Share. Celebrate.
The winners will be announced at the Annual NCSS Conference on February 19th!
Submission Deadline: December 31st
Submit your photos through the link on the YSN page of the NCSS website.
The winner will be announced at the annual conference on February 19th.
Whether you’re a student, field tech, crew chief, SIT, PLS, or simply getting started in the profession—we want to see surveying through your lens.
Same Ground. Bigger Perspectives.
