1985 Moss Motoring Photo Contest

From Moss Motoring 1985

Photographing our cars and the people who enjoy them is a big part of everyone’s involvement with the British Car. There are as many cameras as there are cars at most events. Camera toting enthusiasts are after the ‘special’ shot or the specific detail shots needed to finish a restoration accurately. Many enthusiasts try for ‘art shots’ of their favorite marques, others are involved in recording the festive nature of the British car event.

Whether you are shooting for art, catching the fun or documenting important details, you’ll want to get in on the Moss Motoring Photo Contest.

Here’s your chance to make some of that photography pay off. The Moss Motoring Photo Contest is open to amateur photographers who may submit up to three entries each. Moss Motoring Photo Contest winners will receive generous gift certificates. Each person who enters will receive a $5.00 Gift Certificate just for entering.

Remember, the subject is British Cars and the activities related to them. This includes rallys, shows, social events, restoration photos, tours, and the vast array of activities enjoyed by the British Car Enthusiast.

There’s plenty of time to get your shots, but don’t dally, the contest closes September 1st 1985.
