The path to Global Surveyors’ Day began back in ancient Egypt when society first used surveying techniques to divide land. Throughout history, surveyors have remained the pioneers of discovery shaping our world to its current existence by exploring the unknown on Earth and in space.

Fast forward to 2013 when the signing of the Budapest declaration (CLGE) created a common worldwide celebration for those leaders, past and present.

“We are proud to proclaim Global Surveyors’ Day as a way to globally recognize the ground-breakers, pioneers, individuals and the industry that has shaped our history and continues to be the foundation of our communities. Global Surveyors’ Day will be held on March 21 every year.” (https://surveyorsday.com)

Since 2024, CLGE organized a photo contest, allowing all European Surveyors to participate.

Following this tradition, in 2026 the competition will continue in the same format.

Please upload your photo, tag its location on the map, add the name of the site, describe the action you’re doing, and include a short comment.

Please upload the photos within a week after The Global Surveyors’ Day, i.e., until 28 March 2026.

An independent Jury will establish a ranking, and CLGE will give symbolic awards for the three best stories. By participating in the contest, the authors of the photos allow CLGE and its Member Associations to publish the submitted photos at no cost. If you mention your name, you agree that it will be shared on the map and in the contest documentation.

Happy Surveyors’ Day!!!
