The fourth annual Tilt-Up Video Awards premiered in grand fashion during the 2024 World of Concrete in Las Vegas, Nevada, lighting up the Tilt-Up Concrete Association’s (TCA) booth with energy, innovation, and storytelling. From January 23–25, award-winning videos ran continuously on a massive 20-foot-wide, high-definition LED wall, captivating thousands of construction professionals with stunning visuals of panel lifts, drone shots, and the people behind the projects.

The Tilt-Up Video Awards program, launched in 2020, is an initiative of the Tilt-Up Industry Leaders of Tomorrow (TILT). Designed to spotlight creativity in construction media, the awards celebrate companies that harness video to document and share the craft, complexity, and innovation of tilt-up construction.

“This year’s entries reflect a true passion for storytelling and a growing mastery of the medium,” said Katt Price, president of TILT. “Each video captured the spirit of tilt-up in a different way—from technological innovation to craftsmanship and culture. We hope these stories inspire more companies to share their projects and the people behind them.”

The winning entries for 2024 represent a wide range of applications and approaches—each one showcasing the unique potential of tilt-up and the value of capturing construction stories on screen.
