Photographers urged to capture the beauty of manufacturing in awards

THERE’S an innate beauty to the manufacturing process which a skilled photographer can bring to life.

Now the EEF, the body that speaks up for Britain’s manufacturers, wants to provide a platform for photographers with a keen eye.

Professional and amateur photographers have six weeks left to enter the EEF Made in Britain Photography Awards and compete to win £5,000 worth of photographic equipment from headline sponsor Canon.

The awards are open to professionals, amateurs and young people, aged 14 to 19.

Entry is free.

“There’s a boldness and beauty to British manufacturing that we’re looking to capture through stunning photography,” said Terry Scuoler, the chief executive of EEF, the manufacturers’ organisation.

“Our aim is to give British manufacturing greater visibility and to challenge the myth that ‘Britain doesn’t make anything anymore’.”

The Government’s Make it in Great Britain campaign is also backing the awards.
