Photography competition launches to put the North West's Infrastructure in the picture
PHOTOGRAPHY enthusiasts in the North
West are being encouraged to help raise awareness of the importance of the
region's infrastructure to our everyday lives and future growth by entering the
2016 RICS Infrastructure Photography competition. This year's winning image, Double Travel, was taken by Rita Testa in London and
consists of an iconic image of the rail tracks at:- London Bridge that can be seen
from inside:- The Shard; taken during a birthday visit for her husband.
Anyone aged 18 and over can enter the competition by submitting original
photographs of any man made physical infrastructure structure. This includes
roads, bridges, railways, water supply systems and energy generating facilities
such as power stations and wind farms. Mike Connolly, Director and Head of infrastructure in the North at Turner &
Townsend, is a judge on the panel. He said:- "A lot of our ageing
infrastructure across the North of England needs replacing, with better roads
and railways, nuclear power plants and wind farms required to meet the needs of
our homes, businesses, schools, and hospitals. With this in mind, I hope this
competition not only raises the importance of such essential construction
schemes, but highlights the need for improvements to be made to our
infrastructure across the North and help us create sustainable infrastructure
for future generations." |
