British Ports Association
Coastal Photography Competition
We’re delighted to announce our second coastal photography competition!
We are looking for submissions that capture the beauty of the UK’s ports and coasts. There are four categories, with the best photo in each winning gift vouchers worth £500. Those making the shortlist will also win a small prize.
The competition closes on 21 October. The winner will be announced on the 25 November – the BPA’s 30th anniversary. The competition is open to anyone, including members of the public and port workers.
The four categories are:
| Nature | UK seas and coastal and marine habitats and wildlife. We were really impressed by the quality of the photographs of our marine birds, wildlife and habitats, including seascapes in 2020 |
| Ports | We love ports at the British Ports Association, so send us your photos of ports, harbours, terminals, and marinas, large and small! This is also the category for photos of the UK’s coastal built heritage and lighthouses |
| People | Send us your photos of people working and enjoying the UK coasts, from fishermen to tourists |
| Vessels | There are thousands of vessels calling in UK ports and transiting UK waters. We loved the photos in 2020 and want to see ships and boats of all sizes (including wrecks!) |
