Picture Requirements

Please be sure proper PPE as needed for the work is worn by everyone in the picture.
Please be sure no site hazards are visible in the picture.
Those photographed should be in the foreground—face shots are great!—with the project you’re working on in the background.
Any site—large or small—qualifies!
Please submit only full resolution images (select the largest file size available when emailing the image).

Important: Please check with your employer and the client in case there are any restrictions in taking photos for publication. Don’t get in trouble!

Personal Information We Need

When you email your picture, please include the following:

Your name, CLAC ID#, and cellphone number.
The names of all the members in the shot, first name and last name, from left to right.
A signed consent form (available online) filled out by everyone in the picture granting CLAC permission to use their image.
Your size. The T-shirt sizes are typical. The jacket fits a half size on the small side, so err on the size of larger, not smaller, when providing your size.

Project Information We Need

Name of the project (give it a name if it doesn’t have one) and where it is located.
Who is the general contractor?
Who is your employer (if not the general contractor)?
Who is the client/owner?
List details about the project, such as the size (e.g., square feet), dollar value, number of CLAC workers on site, etc.
List any other CLAC-signatory contractors working on the project.
Provide a brief scope of what you are doing on the project (e.g., full electrical package, site earthworks, construction management, etc.)
Is there anything cool, relevant, or unique about the project? Let us know!

Swag Awards

Entries must be complete to be eligible to receive swag.

If you send in a complete entry, we will send you a CLAC T-shirt and enter you into that month’s draw for a chance to win a hooded Berne jacket. Draws will be held at the end of each month from that month’s eligible entries. CLAC will substitute alternate cool swag of comparable value to a draw winner who has already won a coat in the calendar year.

All images submitted will be considered for publishing in CLAC’s publications (online and print) and posting on CLAC’s social media properties.

For more information, contact your representative.
