The Knife Angel Photography Competition 2019-2023

Are you a classically trained photographer, photography novice, or just someone who loves taking pictures in your spare time? Whatever your photography background, our ‘National Knife Angel Photography Competition’ offers everyone the chance to get creative behind the lens and take a really great picture of the nationally famous Knife Angel.

The Knife Angel, also known as the National Monument Against Violence & Aggression, is currently on its Nationwide tour across the UK until the end of 2023. It has already visited a large number of cities and had many thousands of fantastic pictures taken of it, which is why we want to encourage photographers from all over the UK to get behind their cameras and capture the Angel in their individual style.

The competition winner will be announced at the end of the Knife Angel’s tour in 2023 and will receive our coveted Knife Angel trophy to congratulate them on taking the very best Knife Angel picture.

To enter the competition, all you have to do is take a picture (or two) of the Knife Angel and post it on social media using this hashtag: #KnifeAngelPhotoCompetition. Don’t forget to follow us and tag us @britishironworkcentre on Instagram and Facebook!

There is no limit to the number of pictures that you submit into the competition, just don’t forget to add the official hashtag to your post otherwise we won’t be able to see your entries. Good luck – we cannot wait to see how creative you can get!
