A new year and a new competition. The prizes are unchanged but we have more flexibility on the submission of photographs. It will again be judged by Steve Belasco. The competition runs from the 1st April until the 1st October.

The Prize again will be a bottle of bubbly for the winner of each category.

The Categories:-

Photographs taken while out on a boat.(any boat not necessarily your own)

Coastlines

Pictures of coastlines, can be taken from sea or shore.

Light & Shade or Shadows

We would like it to involve involved sea or boating but not absolutely neccessary. It is the interpretation of the challege that is most important.
