Eurofighter Typhoon Amateur Photography Competition 2011
The 2011 Eurofighter Typhoon calendar was launched in December 2010. On the front cover is a stunning image taken by amateur photographer Neil Bury from the end of the runway at BAE System’s Warton site in the UK. This fantastic photograph highlights that we don’t just use the work of our professional photographers but we appreciate and will use the best photos we can find of the aircraft.
As such, we are introducing to the public the chance to enter our 2011 Eurofighter Typhoon Amateur Photographer of the Year competition.
As part of the competition, we will accept pictures from any amateur photographer with original images of the Typhoon. Please send all entries either via email to communications @eurofighter.com or in the post: Eurofighter Communications, Am Söldnermoos 17, 85399 Hallbergmoos, Germany.

The 2011 Eurofighter Typhoon Amateur Photographer of the Year Competition will run from the 1st February 2011 to the 31st August 2011.
