Museum Launches National Photography Competition.

The Royal Air Force Museum has today launched a national photography competition as part of its calendar of activities to commemorate 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. Accordingly, it is inviting members of the public to send via the Museum’s website , www.rafmuseum.org, their photographs of various Battle of Britain Events that will be taking place around the country this summer. 

Paul Hudson, Head of Marketing, at the Royal Air Force Museum states:

‘ During the course of summer 2010 all organizations who are part of the Royal Air Force Family, will be holding a range of events from air shows to historic weekends to commemorate the bravery and sacrifice of those young pilots who fought so hard to protect our freedom and liberty 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 events by submitting their photographs via the Museum website so that we may create an electronic archive of this year’s commemorations 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 PR Photograph of the Year exhibition in January 2011.

For more information about the competition please visit www.rafmuseum.org or call 020 8205 2266. To view the Calendar of 70th anniversary Battle of Britain events please visit http://www.raf.mod.uk/history/battleofbritain70thanniversary.cfm
