Photography competition helps Manchester celebrate its status as European City of Science 2016
Have you got a great eye for a picture? Then why not take part in a photography competition and help Manchester celebrate its status as European City of Science 2016?
All taught students and staff who have a passion for photography are being invited to showcase their talent and submit their most eye-catching images to the Science and Engineering Photography competition, which is organised by the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences.
The competition has the theme ‘science and engineering’ and invites you to be as creative as possible and capture university life, revealing what makes it unique, exciting, inspiring or fun for you.
A package of rewards are on offer for the winners – including the opportunity to join the Faculty’s communications and marketing team as official ‘photographer in residence’ for a series of roadshow events we are organising across Greater Manchester and Cheshire to celebrate European City of Science for 2016.
The prize package also includes the opportunity to have your work showcased as part of the Faculty’s communications and marketing campaign activity, Amazon vouchers plus a visit to the iconic Jodrell Bank in Cheshire.
The five categories are:
- Your study/research area and how this inspires you
- The campus both its buildings and campus life
- Facilities that you use as part of your teaching and learning experience
- People who inspire in your university life
- Manchester which celebrates its status as European City of Science in 2016
The closing date for the competition is Monday, April 4 and the winning entrants will be selected and informed two weeks after this date.

The designation of European City of Science to Manchester is a first for the UK – and the University is playing a big part in the celebrations, which include the Euroscience Open Forum (ESOF).
There are a myriad of ways you can contribute to the proceedings: through sharing your stories, images and ideas, or promoting your research, or as part of events you are hosting.
The University has a team of facilitators, who can connect you with ESOF organisers and will also monitor and record ideas and activities suggested for European City of Science and its associated events.
