Theme: ‘Capturing the spirit of modern UK manufacturing ’

We want the best images of the modern manufacturing supply chain in action. If you are part of the industry, they might be taken by keen amateur photographers in your own workforce, visiting students as well as the best professional images you may have had taken. You might be a keen amateur or professional photographer. The competition is open to you too. We simply want the best images of modern manufacturing – everything from the talented technicians in the lab, to the skilled craftsmen and women on the shopfloor. From the largest state-of-the-art facilities to the smallest, smartest start-ups.
