The British Ports Association, the national trade body for all types of ports and harbours, is running a coastal photography competition to capture the beauty and visual impact of the UK’s coast and maritime influence.
This competition is open to anyone, including members of the public and workers around the coastal regions. As the UK has endured the Coronavirus pandemic and lockdown restrictions, there has seen an influx of visitors in and around port regions. The British Ports Association are therefore calling on all budding photographers to submit shots that they have taken that capture the charm and the essence of the UK’s maritime resources and its island geography!
The British Ports Association is looking for submissions to capture attractive images, either of coastal activities and/or of ports and harbours. This can focus on anything from wildlife, through to tourism or economic activity.
