Anyone working in the energy sector – from oil rig workers to wind technicians and power plant engineers – is being encouraged to enter with a winning prize of free industry training, potentially worth thousands of pounds.
Many industry-approved training courses are mandatory for energy workers due to strict compliance with high safety standards. The owner of the winning image will be able to choose from more than 450 training courses and training locations in Scotland and North East England. Courses cover everything from skills such as rope access, offshore survival, emergency response and trades like blade repair, non-destructive testing (NDT) or blaster-sprayer.
Hundreds of entries have been received so far but the closing date of 9th September is looming so anyone else wanting to enter should act soon.
Linzi Ryan, Head of Marketing at AIS Survivex, said: “Many people new to energy, often ask what it’s like working in the sector. We couldn’t think of a better way to showcase this then by celebrating some of the stunning backdrops our delegates get to experience day in, day out.
“Our photography competition is open to anyone working in energy and the hundreds of entries we’ve received so far have been incredible. Absolutely jaw-dropping.
“The winning shot will be decided by a judging panel, who will assess the entries based on the quality and impact of the image. This image will then be displayed pride-of-place in our training centres for hundreds of people to see every day, as well as being shared on our social media channels and our website. And of course, we’ll credit the talented photographer who captured the image and even frame it for them.
“With an unbeatable prize of training potentially worth thousands, it’s definitely worth entering. We’re urging people to get snapping and send us their images before the deadline.”
