AREG’s ambition is for North-east Scotland to be recognised as a world-leading centre of excellence for the production and use of renewable energy. We have a wealth of renewable energy sources in Scotland, with emerging sectors such as floating offshore wind, hydrogen and geothermal energies all adding to that rich mix.
Our annual calendar provides a platform to showcase that diversity and we are looking for creative, imaginative images to fill its pages.
The photographs can show any type or use of renewable energy, whether that be wind, wave, hydrogen or solar power or electric vehicles and bikes or anything else the photographers choose.
Entries can also illustrate how renewable energy is integrated into communities, households, public buildings and spaces or forms part of our landscape.
Images can show people going about their daily lives as we transition to lower carbon energy or interacting with renewable sources of power as they work and play.
Prizes
In addition to having their photograph featured in the calendar, the 13 winners will each receive £75. The winning images will also go on public display at Aberdeen Science Centre.
