From Antarctica to Zambia, you’re out there seeing and mapping the world. To be honest, we’re a little bit jealous. That’s why for the final Community Challenge this decade (crazy, right?!) we want to see your best drone or aerial pic. We’re looking for spectacular nadir photos or orthomosaics with a ‘wow’ factor. We’ll put our favourites up on our office walls, and **the winners will receive Pix4D licenses to continue their work and goodies to do it in style**. ## The best image, as decided by you Share your favourite nadir aerial images (or orthomosaic) with us in the comments below before December 31, 2019. On January 10, we’ll present a short list of pictures, and the community will pick the final winner. Users can vote until January 14. ## The fine print You can submit a compressed version of the image below, but to be considered, you must also be able to provide a high-res version of the image: at least 3,000 x 2,000 pixels/300 DPI. TIF, JPG or PSD images are fine. All submitted images may be used on social media: let us know how you would like us to credit you. ## The Jury Projects will be shortlisted by the Pix4D team. Pix4D community users will vote for the Top 5 images, which will be announced on January 15 and win the prizes. ## The Prizes The 5 projects with the most votes will be printed and displayed in the Pix4D Headquarters. The winners will receive a 6 month Pix4Dmapper license and Pix4D goodies. ## Need an example? ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/pix4d/original/2X/c/cfcfb6ce424058af9ebd50d7daf562e45b59d0ac.jpeg) _I took this shot last weekend at the Swiss Vineyards of Lavaux, near the city of Lausanne. It’s not a winner, but I’m pretty happy with how it turned out, considering it’s coming from a Mavic Mini! Please credit me as @twitter if you tweet this._ ---

The land in the picture was at elevation -55 2 years ago. I was surveying it then using a reson multi beam sonar. We have brought that area up to + 40 a fill of 95 feet! The piles are for the extension of Pier E, to accommodate 2 more container ships. Thanks for your consideration. ---

Approx. 4,700LF of a river restoration and highway reconstruction project in Colorado (overall project is several miles). All flown manually with Phantom 4 Pro; tight canyon conditions combined with the project requiring high detail on vertical features (rockfaces) meant automated flights and image capture wouldn’t work. Average GSD of 1.18cm/0.46 in. Credit to Chinook Landscape Architecture.

Hi Russel! Thanks a lot for participating. We really love this one, but it’s oblique. Would you have any nadir one you’d like to submit to the competition? By the way, did you do a 3D model of this castle? Best regards. Rodrigo ---

That’s what happens when you just dive in and read the instructions properly 😆 I did do a model of it but it had a few gaps and I never got the chance to go back and fly it again. ![DJI_0033](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/pix4d/original/2X/f/fe7953f6437203687f6a0c487f5356ee71a04e48.jpeg) ---
