OKW's Instagrammy Competition

OKW Architects January 15, 2021

The theme for January was “LOOK UP,” and the office submitted nearly 30 entries. From the collage above, which one would you have voted for?

“LOOK UP” was the first photo competition of 2021, one that OKW has hosted internally since late 2015. Each month, the Wellness Committee announces the theme and gives the office two to three weeks to submit their best photos, using the theme as an inspiration. As you might guess from the entries submitted for “LOOK UP,” some interpreted the theme literally, while others used it as a starting point for their own spin.

The themes can be literal (“WATER,” “SHADOWS,” “FOOD”), architectural (“CORNERS,” “FRAME,” “MASONRY”), or esoteric (“GLOOM,” “TRANSITION,” “VIBE”). All that matters is that we always receive an incredibly diverse, colorful, and communicative batch of photos … which makes voting a challenge!
