Capturing the creative and progressive face of engineering & engineers

Submit

Do you want to change the way we view engineering today, and win a fantastic cash prize too?

Engineering is an exciting and fast-changing sector - shaping the world around us and improving the quality of our everyday lives.
Traditional images of engineering and engineers have focused on hard hats and dirty overalls, which is an image the IET is committed to change.
The IET International Engineering Photography Competition is open to any photograph of an engineering-related subject that captures the dynamic, creative and progressive face of engineering and engineers today.
The winning photographs will help challenge public misconceptions of engineering and demonstrate the ingenuity, breadth and vibrancy of the world of engineering.
Winners will be announced at EngFest 2.0 on 17th October 2017. All winners will also have their entry displayed in the prestigious IET London: Savoy Place building.
