Photo competition in full swing

Following the launch of our IAPA photograph competition last week - we have already received some interesting and artistic submissions. Don't miss your chance to show off your photographic skills and at the same time show us the excellent work being done every day by powered access professionals.

Access Photograph of the Year is generously sponsored by UK rental company Facelift. It is running alongside the IAPA's (International Awards for Powered Access) and we hope to present the prize at the award ceremony in Rome.

We are looking for a photograph that is not only a great picture but is thought provoking and promotes the industry. It must be a photograph of a real job, and remember we are looking to show best practice so all relevant safety procedures must be demonstrated.

We know that you are undertaking interesting work every day and this is your chance to not only show your expertise to the world, but also win yourself €1200 (or equivalent in your national currency).

The competition is not open to professional photographers or the media, and the prize will go to the individual operator, site worker, service engineer, delivery agent, trainer, trainee or manager who takes the best picture.

The photograph must be of a reasonably high resolution - so probably best not to take it on your phone. Access International and IPAF will be allowed full use of any entered photographs.

Photos should be submitted by e-mail to Access International's Maria Hadlow maria.hadlow@khl.com. Please also provide some basic information about the photo (including, if possible, when taken, what project, what machine, owner of platform, client in the job.)
