My Railway Adventure award
With 20,000 miles of track, its iconic Victorian bridges and viaducts and modern engineering architecture, the railway helps to shape the visual history of Britain. For this award, we’re looking for images that show the many ways the railway forms some of the most impressive views of the British landscape from the architecture to infrastructure.
Images can be of the operational national rail network anywhere in Great Britain (excluding Northern Ireland). Images of light rail systems, heritage railways, disused infrastructure, pier railways or model railways are for the first time also eligible. Underground railway systems are not eligible.
The winner will be invited to join Network Rail on an exclusive tour behind the scenes at King’s Cross Station in London. There will be ample opportunity to photograph the station from areas not accessible to the public. They will also win a place in the touring exhibition and Collection 16 book.
There are also prizes for the runner up and commended entries.

Please note: Trespassing on the railways is not only dangerous but is a criminal offence which may lead to prosecution. All images must have been taken from public access land or rights of way.
