Final call for entries in the RCTS photographic competition
MARCH 31 is the closing date for the joint Railway Correspondence and Travel Society/mortons Media railway photographic competition, so you have just a few days left to send in your entry. You can submit up to two entries in any or all of the four categories, using photographs taken since January 2022.
The Overall Competition winner will enjoy a money-cannot-buy main line cab ride courtesy of DB Cargo, most likely taking place somewhere in the north of England.
The winner of the Modern Traction section will join GBRF for a session on one of its locomotive driver simulators, while the Heritage Railway winner will be entertained at the Nene Valley Railway on a visit that includes a tour of the sheds at Wansford and a cab ride.
The People and Railways winner’s destination is the East Lancashire Railway for a cab ride with a choice of steam or diesel traction, while the Railways and the Environment
prize winner will visit the Severn Valley Railway for a look behind the scenes at Kidderminster diesel depot and a diesel cab ride.
In addition, each winner will receive an RCTS book and a one-year subscription to a Mortons magazine of their choice. The second prize winner in each category will receive a RCTS book and Mortons subscription of their choice, while the third placed entry will have the choice of either an RCTS book or a Mortons subscription.
A Judges’ Special Commendation prize of two first class tickets and tea for two at the Talyllyn Railway will be awarded to a further stand-out image deemed worthy of recognition.
