£5,000 of camera equipment
waiting to be snapped up in manufacturing photography competition
KEEN photographers are being urged to
put UK manufacturing in the frame for the annual EEF/Lombard manufacturing
photography competition, where a share of £5,000 of Canon photography equipment
is available.
The competition is now in its 6th year and EEF, the manufacturers' organisation,
and Lombard, the UK's largest asset finance provider, are asking photographers
to submit images that capture the essence of modern British manufacturing.
Photographs can portray any stage of manufacturing, from design, process and
technology in action through to the finished product, and can cover traditional
or high-tech sectors.
The competition is designed to raise the profile of UK manufacturing by
showcasing the industry's creativity, diversity and heritage through inspiring
photography. Companies are being encouraged to open their doors to photographers
in their local area to demonstrate what makes manufacturing so great.
There are three categories to enter: professional, amateur and young
photographer (14 to 19 years old). The competition closes 30th September 2015.
Entries will be shortlisted by a panel of photography and industry experts with
winners announced in December at a special ceremony in the House of Commons.
Terry Scuoler, Chief Executive of EEF, says:- "Manufacturing has a key
role to play in underpinning the UK's drive to compete in the global economy.
From investing in the future by providing high-quality apprenticeships to
exporting products across the world, manufacturing is the beating heart of
British ingenuity and creativity. This competition is designed to capture and
showcase its breadth and scope and to open eyes to the innovation going on each
and every day in our sector."
Ian Isaac, Head of Sales at Lombard, says:- "This competition challenges
photographers to push aside out-dated perceptions about manufacturing and
capture it in all its modern glory. UK manufacturing is innovative and thriving.
More importantly it's on the cusp of a fourth industrial revolution making it an
exciting and historical time for photographers to get involved. We're delighted
to be sponsoring the competition again this year."
The competition is backed by Canon, The ERA Foundation, BIS, APMG, The Guild of
Photographers, The Manufacturer magazine and The Times. The gallery of winning
and shortlisted images will be showcased around the UK throughout 2016.
