week of voting, three videos would trade and exchange places, but, as the voting period drew to a close, it soon became clear that a submission from Moore Engineering would claim the top spot. However, as the only competitor with two videos to make the final round, the question still remained as to which of Moore’s submissions would win. In the end, Moore Engineering’s "Maple & Upper Maple River Dams" emerged as the clear winner of the 2023 Engineering Drone Video of the Year competition, garnering over 1,000 more votes than the second place submission. The 2023 EDVY winner gives viewers a unique perspective on two projects that have massive footprints in terms of size and impact. The winning video uses the perspective afforded by a drone juxtaposed with textual information to give viewers a unique and important perspective of two, large-scale engineering projects. 3.
