Background

For the last four years we have successfully run an EEA photo competition. We continue to be overwhelmed by the fantastic responses we have had for these competitions and the member involvement in selecting the winners. We continue to build a great bank of images that we have been using for our communications and use on our electronic platforms.

The winner for our 2023 competition was Chicane Newcombe of Omexom for his image capturing ‘Pot of Gold’ . You can check it out and other results here.

We would like to keep building up our bank of industry-related images, and we are excited to announce that entries are now open for this year’s EEA photo competition.
