The Photographic Adventure Company Ltd is a family run tour operator specializing in luxury, exclusive and VIP photography experiences, and it just launched the first Amateur Motorsport Photography Awards (AMPA).
The contest aims to recognize and reward the exceptional work of amateur motorsport photographers across the UK.
Created by Greg Childs, the founder of The The Photographic Adventure Company Ltd, Childs wanted to create an event that recognized the “often overlooked talent of countless amateur motorsport photographers who dedicate their time and passion to capturing stunning motorsport images from the spectator’s perspective at race circuits up and down the UK.”
The awards are sponsored by The Pit Stop, Vanguard, Castle Combe Circuit, Bob Books, and Silverstone.
He said: “I firmly believe that amateur motorsport photographers play a vital and crucial role in the motorsport world and community. Their unique perspectives and creative vision often result in extraordinary images that deserve to be celebrated. AMPA provides a platform to showcase that incredible talent and inspire a new generation of motorsport photographers.”
All shortlisted entries will be published in the Amateur Motorsport Photography Awards Book 2024.
