NTET Photo Competition 2024
Once again we are announcing our annual NTET photographic competition.
The competition is open to members and non-members of the Trust, of all ages.
The family of the late John Cook, who was a great servant of the Trust, presented a cup in his memory to be awarded in a photographic competition.
The competition consists of four categories. A first, second and third place winners will be selected from each category, as well as an overall winner.
The winning photos will be made into the NTET’s 2025 calendar.
A display of pictures will be made at the 2024 AGM where the John Cook memorial trophy will be awarded to the overall winner.
CATEGORIES:
Engine Portraits
A photograph featuring one or more engines posed in a picturesque off-the-road setting, with minimal accompanying modern objects or people.
People
A photograph of one or more adults operating or associated with an engine. They may be wearing period clothing or taking part in a traditional activity related to the operation of the engine.
This category is intended to show people in-action, rather than posing for, or looking at the camera.
Steam On The Road
A photograph featuring one more engines out on the road, with minimal accompanying modern objects or people, possibly hauling a traditional load or seen in a historic location.
Working Engines
A photograph of one or more engines engaging in their traditional working roles, such as driving a sawbench or threshing drum, ploughing a field, hauling a load or rolling a road.
Again, with minimal accompanying modern objects or people.
Entries should be sent via e-mail to photocompetition@ntet.co.uk and be with us by Monday 10th of June in order to be considered by the panel of judges.
You should include full contact details (and age if under 16), and you must specify the category each photo is entered into.
High-Resolution digital photos are preferred. Only one photo per category, per person is allowed.
Your entry into this competition is on the agreement that the NTET has the right to publish your photos, display them on our social media, website and also print the 12 best photos in our 2025 calendar.
First, Second and Third place will be selected for each category by our panel of judges. One overall winner will also be chosen. The decision of the judges is final.
The first-place prize for each section is two memberships of the NTET or SAC, which may be gifted to a friend if you wish. All winners will receive a copy of the 2025 Calendar.
The overall winner will receive a complimentary place on the 2025 Driving Course, and will also receive the John Cook Memorial trophy.
Winners will be announced in the July edition of Steaming magazine, and the John Cook trophy will be awarded at the NTET’s AGM in November.
Good Luck.
