By Luke Carothers  When the Engineering Drone Video of the Year Competition (EDVY) launched in 2018, drones were still emerging as a new tool across the AEC industry.  Early winning videos focused on something simple but transformative.  Drones gave firms new ways to capture and understand projects, construction progress, and infrastructure from perspectives that were once difficult or impossible to achieve .  Over time, the competition evolved alongside the technology itself.  Winning entries moved beyond just shooting aerial footage into storytelling, public engagement, resilience, and brand communication.  By 2025, that evolution became official when EDVY became part of the Marketing Excellence Awards (MEA) , reflecting how drone video has grown from a niche tool into a core part of AEC marketing and project storytelling.  Proving the Possibilities: 2018-19   The earliest EDVY winners captured a moment when dro...
