Photographers
Love engineering? Love photography? Then this is a pretty cool competition for anyone aged 5 or over
PhotocriticEtcThe Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) is calling on photographers to capture the new and modern side of the engineering and technology industry in a bid to challenge current misconceptions of engineering and to demonstrate the ingenuity, breadth, and vibrancy of the profession.
The IET’s International Engineering Photography Competition is open to any photograph of an engineering-related subject that captures the dynamic, creative and progressive face of engineering and engineers today.
Participants can enter up to five photos to the following five categories:
- Digital
- Environment & Energy
- Structures & Transport
- Robotics
- Design & Production
A panel of judges will look at every entry and award cash prizes to five category winners, five secondary school-age winners (ages 12-18) and five primary school-age winners (ages 5-11). An overall winner will then be selected from the 15 winners, and awarded an extra cash prize.
The deadline for entries is 31 August 2017. The winners will be announced at the IET’s Engineering the Future Festival on 17 October 2017 and a selection of the winning photographs will be made into a permanent photograph display at IET London: Savoy Place.
You can learn more about the competition on the IET website.
