July 2024 : Crew at work -- in uniform

[Isabelle Prondzynski]

The theme for this month's photo competition is "Crew at work -- in uniform", chosen by Bob C.

Photos could be taken on board or on shore, provided that the crew at work in the photo are in their uniforms. This should lead to plenty of entries, as I am sure that we all (crew members or passengers) often enjoyed taking photos of crew members.

Some pictures may already be in the QE2 Story Gallery -- if you would like to use any of those for the competition, just let the Moderators know, and we can enter them for you, without removing them from their original albums. We also assume that any photos in the Gallery may be entered in the competition by the Moderators on behalf of the owners / photographer members.

Your description should if possible give some information about when and where the photo was taken.

Photos entered should be your own, or if not, please post them with permission of the photographer, mentioning the name for copyright reasons, and so that the owner can be credited.

Enjoy the search and the memories!





How to enter

The album is open -- so now is the time to look for your three most interesting pictures on this theme. Wishing you happy memories as you search your photo collection to find up to three pictures to upload to the competition album.

This link will take you straight there : Crew at work -- in uniform.

If you have not uploaded photos to the Forum Gallery for a while, have a look at these instructions, and if you have any problems or would like us to move a photo from the Gallery into the competition, just contact us on admin@theqe2story.com.

If it helps, you could email the photos to the above address, and we shall gladly upload them for you.

The deadline for submitting photos is 1 August 2024. Voting will run from the beginning of September 2024 until 1 October 2024, until everyone's time zone has caught up with the closing date.

We look forward to seeing your photos in this competition. 

This is the seventh month of photos for the 2025 calendar. Maybe your photo will figure there .

Enjoy yourselves!

Lots of photos in the Gallery of crew in uniform so hoping that we get lots of entries either from photos in the gallery or new picture uploaded to the competition.

We have 18 photos uploaded to the competition album so far.  This topic is an opportunity to see lots of crew photos of crew in their uniforms. 

Looking forward to having a bumper response to this month's competition with lots more photos.  Should we set a target?  How many photos would you suggest?

I look forward to seeing some crew at work (in their working attire) "behind the scenes" where we passengers were not normally invited to go -- the laundry team, the cooks and chefs in their galleys, the store managers, the engineers working with their engines, and others.

22 photos now in the competition album.  Should we set a target for 30 photos for this month or higher?

[Lynda Bradford]

Please help - we need three more photos added to the competition to reach our first target of 30 photos.  When we reach the target we go for target number 2 - what will it be?

Good news we have reached our target of 30 photos entered in the July photo competition.  We now have 33 pictures entered to the album, which is excellent to see this response.  However it would be good to get more entries, so if you have photo(s) of QE2 crew at work - in uniform please upload and support the competition.
