Museum Launches Battle Of Britain 70th Anniversary Photography Competition
13 May 2010
Today the Royal Air Force Museum launches a national photography competition as part of its calendar of activities to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. Accordingly, it is inviting members of the public to submit photographs taken at various Battle of Britain events that will be taking place around the country this summer. Entries should be made via the Museum’s website, www.rafmuseum.org.
Paul Hudson, Head of Marketing, at the Royal Air Force Museum states:
‘During the course of summer 2010 organizations who are part of the Royal Air Force Family, will be holding a series of events, ranging from air shows to historic weekends, in order to commemorate the bravery and sacrifice of those members of the Royal Air Force who fought so hard to protect our freedom during the summer of 1940.
The Museum would like members of the public who are attending such events to help us document this summer’s commemorative activities by submitting their photographs via the Museum website so that we may create an electronic archive of this year’s events for future generations.’
To participate in this competition, all that people have to do is to attend one of the 70th anniversary events listed on the Royal Air Force’s website, www.raf.mod.uk, and then send their best images online to the Museum. The competition is open to all UK residents and has two categories; one for best image taken by a child and one for best image taken by an adult. Prizes will be awarded for each winning photograph with each image being displayed at the Museum as part of the Museum’s annual RAF Photographic Competition Exhibition in January 2011.
