Say ‘cheese’: Annual photography competition announced by EEF
The manufacturers’ organisation, EEF, has opened its 8th annual photography competition and is asking photographers of all experience levels to submit images that capture the essence of modern manufacturing.
Designed to showcase the creativity, diversity and heritage that defines British manufacturing, EEF states that entries 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. Moreover, EEF is urging companies to allow local photographers in to take some snaps in order to demonstrate what makes manufacturing great.
There are three categories within the competition — professional, amateur and young photographer. Between all the categories, entrants will have the chance to win £5,000 in prizes and the entries will be shortlisted by a panel of photography and industry experts. Winners will be announced in December.
“From investing in the future through apprenticeships to proudly standing at the forefront of world leading technology, British manufacturing is the beating heart of the economy,” said Terry Scuoler, CEO at EEF. “The manufacturing photography competition showcases the ingenuity and creativity that takes place every day in the sector.”
The competition closes on Saturday 30 September.
