August's photography competition, sponsored by Recycled Products Ltd, has been judged by the Membership and Communications committee. The winner is the team at John Lawrie with a photo of the downsizing and recycling of the MV Kaami at Kishorn dry dock. They have asked that their prize is donated to a charity selected by BMRA President, Susie Burrage, who selected Huntingdon-based 'Dreamdrops'. Dreamdrops fundraises for paediatrics in the Hinchingbrooke Hospital A&E department, Holly Ward and the Special Care Baby Unit along with children being nursed in the community, parents and front-line staff. Congratulations and thank you to the team at John Lawrie!

If you would like to take part in October's competition, send your photos to [email protected] by 19 September.

Please avoid images with too much of the company logo exposed. The company is fully acknowledged when we announce the winner. Also try not to photoshop the picture, we like a level playing field for all entrants. 

Replacing the calendar competition, every two months members can send their photos in and the Membership and Communications committee will select their favourite.

The winning photo will appear in Scrapbook and be the main photo on the BMRA social media pages for the two month period, as well as winning a prize. 

Photos that are sent in will be used by the BMRA for the website, brochures and other promotional digital and print media. Please ensure you have permission to send in the picture. We are unable to accept previously submitted photos. 

Entries are only open to BMRA members.

Stuck for ideas of photos to take? Why not theme them:

• People in Scrap

• Views from the yard

• Machinery and equipment

• The yard in all weathers

• In the offices 

• Exciting finds on the yard

The photos need to be 300dpi in either a jpeg, tif or png format. (1MB is a good indication that it is big enough.)
