TWO amateur photographers from Warrington have been shortlisted for a prestigious national award in the 5th annual EEF/Lombard “Make it Britain” photography competition.
They were shortlisted after impressing a panel of judges with their work. They are Rob Watkins, for his six images of filters being manufactured at Croft Filters Ltd in Warrington and Craig Vanrooy for his photo of the Range Rover Evoque at Jaguar Land Rover in Liverpool.
Their photographs will now go on display at an awards ceremony in the House of Commons on Thursday December 11 where the winning photographer will be announced.
The competition aims to raise the profile of British manufacturing by showcasing the industry’s creativity, diversity and heritage through inspiring photography. It is part of EEF’s ongoing ‘Make it
Britain’ campaign, which champions the vitality and vibrancy of the UK’s manufacturing and industrial base.
