 Another month, another chance to win big with OpenSpace!
 

February is all about love  :cupid:  We want to see your love for construction (or OpenSpace!) in one photo.
 

:camera_with_flash: You could share a picture of your favorite part of your day or your job, what inspired you to join construction in the first place, a lovingly made meme, and more. Love comes in all shapes and sizes, so the possibilities are endless!
 

The top two entries (it’s Valentine’s after all, so why not pick A COUPLE to be winners!) that get the most love (aka most votes) from our Community will win a very special Valentine’s gift :gift: – with love of course, from OpenSpace :heart_eyes:

 

The prize (our Valentine’s gift to the winner!):
 

  • A selection of Valentine’s gift cards that could include
    :airplane:  Travel (Airbnb, cruise, travel deals, etc.)
    :full_moon_with_face:  Wellness (Spa experiences)
    :projector:  Movies
    :credit_card:  General (Visa, Amazon)
    * NOTE - The exact selection provided to the winners would vary depending on the country
     

  • Depending on what the winners have planned for their Valentine’s Day celebrations, they could choose which gift card they would want to redeem from the selection
     

  • :first_place:  The TOP 1 winner (most number of votes) will get a $200 gift card

  • :second_place:  The TOP 2 winner (second most number of votes) will get a $100 gift card
     

  • And we’ll throw in a handwritten love letter from OpenSpace as well :love_letter:


How the competition works:
 

  • :hammer_pick:   From Monday, Feb 7 to Sunday, Feb 13, submit your photos showcasing your love for construction. Be creative with this! Are you going to take the romantic approach? The comedic approach? Or are you going to combine both and take the romcom approach? (Yes, we welcome memes!)
     

  •  :ballot_box:  From Monday, Feb 7 to Sunday, Feb 13, Community members can vote on the entries that are their favorites by liking the photos.
     

  •  :trophy:  By 11:59 PM PST on Sunday, Feb 13, the entry with the most number of votes (likes) will be declared the winner. 
     

  •  :heart:  On Valentine’s Day, Monday, Feb 14, the winners and the winning photos will be featured not only in the OpenSpace Community, but throughout all of OpenSpace’s social media platforms as well.

I love how construction has it’s own language and a simple word like “DONE” is vast in its meaning and bound by nothing.

One of the things I love most about construction is being apart of building something that you can actually see and show people when you are walking down the street.  There is something really cool and impressive when someone asks you what you do and you can just respond with look up or look over there.  One of the first dates that I had with the woman who I am lucky enough to call my wife was like that when we were having a picnic in Central Park and I was able to point out where my job was from our picnic blanket!

Three things I love about TOP GOLF construction.

1.) Look how organized it is!!!!!!

2.) I might get a few rounds at this driving range!!!!!!

3.) Everyone asking me “Am I being recorded on that helmet camera, that’s really cool.”

My Answer: ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯   ✌️(ツ)

Seeing daily progress from the outside! Concrete decks slowly growing, then curtainwall inching up the building. And knowing the chaos happening on the inside to get interiors complete that most people will never see.

And to close this competition, I wanted to share one of my first experiences that showed me why I love construction. Obviously this isn’t part of the competition and I can’t win any of the prizes anymore :wink:

These photos show baby Nikiya (very grainy because they’re many years old) when I was still in college studying construction management. Our Structures class took a field trip to the Bay Bridge, when the seismically unsound span was being replaced (it was the most expensive public works project in California history, and as of 2014, the world’s widest bridge according to the Guinness World Records!).

I thought it was SO COOL that I could take these photos, standing and sitting on the bridge, without being run over by all the vehicles that now use this bridge. :sweat_smile: I regret not taking a photo of me lying down! Anyway, this was one of the exciting things for me about being in construction -- we can be part of and build many historical structures (even before the public can experience them!). We are building the world of the present and the future :heart:
