A select group of photographers from across Britain will have their images exhibited at the Houses of Parliament after their images were shortlisted in the final of a national photography competition celebrating British design and manufacturing. A total of 87 photographs in the nationwide competition run by the EEF, the Manufacturers’ Organisation, and sponsored by Canon. The images will be displayed in Westminster throughout 2013.
The Made in Britain Photography Awards 2012 received over 800 images that celebrated the best of British design and manufacturing in three categories: professional, amateur and young person aged 14-19. Entries ranged from the magnificent Olympic rings hanging over Tower Bridge to the printed electronics board’s journey through an advanced soldering process (Pictured by Anna Schlautmann). An overall winner from three entry groups will be awarded £5,000 worth of photographic equipment by sponsor Canon at a National Awards Ceremony in Westminster on 4 December 2012.
The EEF commented: “The standard of entries continues to grow and, again this year, they have highlighted the modern and vibrant sector that is modern manufacturing. Every shortlisted image is to be applauded for capturing the wide variety of products and processes that keeps UK manufacturing world class.”
