The search to find the best photography of the British landscape and that of the rail network is on. Entries are now open for the Take a view - Landscape Photographer of the Year Awards 2012.
Photographers across Britain are being encouraged to showcase the best sights the country has to offer.
For the third year, Network Rail is supporting this competition where amateurs and professional photographers can highlight the very best imagery of Britain’s beautiful rural and urban scenery and compete for the top prize of £10,000. The competition, now in its sixth year, is the idea of renowned landscape photographer, Charlie Waite, and the best images will be displayed at an exhibition at the National Theatre in London.
An additional prize will be given for the best photography of Britain’s rail network – The Network Rail ‘Lines in the Landscape’ Special Award. Last year’s winner was Shahbaz Majeed from Dundee, with a beautiful shot of a train passing over the Tay Bridge at dusk.
Tom Kelly, Network Rail’s director, corporate communications said: “This competition celebrates something very special: the way this country looks in all its different ways, some changing, some not. I am delighted that the railway, which forms such an important backdrop for both the urban and rural landscape in so many places, should be a part of it, and look forward with anticipation to seeing the entries.â€
