This year the competition – in partnership with the GREAT Campaign – is asking photographers to capture the bright future of British manufacturing and champion the next generation of talent and technology in the sector.
Photographs can portray any stage of manufacturing - from design, process and technology in action through to the finished product – and feature individuals at work. There are four categories for photographers to enter:
- Next Generation
- Future Technology
- Manufacturing Process
- Manufacturing Product
Stephen Phipson, CEO at EEF, says: “The Manufacturing Photography competition shines a light on our forward looking and innovative industry. It celebrates the people and the products that help make manufacturing the beating heart of the UK Economy. I wish all the photographers that enter the competition the best of luck and cannot wait to see the entries when they go on display at the awards event later in the year.”
The competition is free to enter and open to young, amateur and professional photographers. It closes for entries on 30 September. Entries will be shortlisted by a panel of photography and industry experts, with winners announced at an awards event in London in November. Winning photographers will get their hands on a share of a £5,000 prize fund and be in with the chance of having their photos on display in the national and local media.
