Eurofighter Launches Amateur Photo Competition :
** Europe’s Amateur aviation photographers from around the world will soon have the chance to get ‘up close and personal’ with the world’s most advanced multi-role fast-jet fighter as part of a unique prize package for the winner of the Eurofighter Typhoon Amateur Photography Competition 2014.

** The winner of the Competition will be offered a personal tour around the Eurofighter Typhoon by a leading Test Pilot. He or she will also be given an opportunity to see how the aircraft is made inside one of the four Final Assembly Facilities operated by the Eurofighter programme in Italy, Spain, Germany and the UK.

** Last year’s Competition attracted hundreds of entries with Dan Kemsley’s dramatic image of a Eurofighter in extremis capturing the imagination of judges and securing him pride of place in the calendar which reaches a worldwide audience.

** Eurofighter PR and Communications is proud to launch the quest to find Dan’s successor as this year’s Competition is announced today, 3rd April 2014. As ever, the Competition is expected to attract a high level of interest with images of the Eurofighter Typhoon coming in from a worldwide collection of keen and skilled amateur photographers.

** The Competition, which opens today, will run until 30th September 2014 and the winner will have their image featured in the 2015 Eurofighter calendar. Lead judge, and an acknowledged expert of Typhoon photography, will be Geoffrey Lee of Plane Focus. He says : “This is the perfect platform to prove that amateur photography can indeed be extraordinary.” Geoffrey points to Dan’s image, the front cover of the 2014 Eurofighter calendar as a stunning example of an atmospheric photograph.

** This year’s winner will be announced at the close of the Competition. The judging panel, which will include Dan, will meet at Eurofighter in Germany to choose the winning photograph.

** The judging panel for the competition will be Geoffrey Lee from Plane Focus Ltd – Eurofighter’s leading photographer; Andreas Westphal – Managing Director of images.art.design. Werbeagentur GmbH; the Team of PR & Communications from Eurofighter Jagdflugzeug GmbH and Dan Kemsley.
