The second in our series of photography competitions that celebrate built and living heritage around the world, from different perspectives.
‘Images of Industrial Heritage’ – ICOMOS UK Photography Competition
To mark the launch of the ICOMOS UK Industrial Heritage Committee, this competition wants to explore changing approaches to and perceptions of industrial heritage. The competition will spotlight sites of industrial heritage, and reflect on how they are preserved, celebrated and debated.
Why not enter our competition? Winners will receive a print of their work, as well as a year’s membership of ICOMOS, and shortlisted images will go on display in the gallery at our Cowcross Street offices.
Images of Industrial Heritage
We invite photographers to capture images that showcase the stark beauty and surprising fragility of industrial heritage and our changing relationships with it. Or to document change in and for local communities as a result of industrialisation, deindustrialisation and the social, economic, and environmental impacts of both.
Photographs may include, but are not limited to, World Heritage Sites, other heritage sites, and places which are not formally designated as heritage at all, but which have an important story to tell. Sites can be located anywhere around the world.
There are four categories that images can be submitted for, which aim to record, celebrate or pose questions about the variety of industrial heritage and its impact on people:
- Machinery – working or redundant engines, equipment, production lines and processes
- Buildings & Structures – from the monumental to the fragmentary
- Landscapes and their transformation by the presence or disappearance of industrial activity and processes
- People and community – making, conserving, taking part, moving away
