Stoneways Marine, the Dorset based boat and marine trade insurance provider, has launched its 2023 Amateur Boating Photographer of the Year Competition with a brand new theme and an exciting lineup of prizes. The theme for 2023 is “Boating and you”.
An ideal opportunity for anyone passionate about photography or simply the world of all things marine, Stoneways Marine is calling for everyone involved in the marine industry across the UK to submit their photographs portraying what being on the water means to them as a part of their day-to-day life and snaps that showcase just how special being part of the British marine industry really is.
Following on from the success of the 2022 competition, 2023’s theme is ‘Boating And You’. The Stoneways team are especially interested in receiving entries from participants who view boating as both a business and a lifestyle working in the marine trade industry and enjoying leisure time on the water as well. However, all pictures capturing the theme are welcome.
“The world of marine trade is vast – whether you design, valet, build, sail, repair, maintain or operate boats for recreation, we’d love to see your work in action. Even if you are simply proud of a paint job you have polished, send in a photo. And of course, we’re excited to see everyone’s snapshots of glorious sundowners and beautiful clear sky sailing too. No matter how you interpret 2023’s theme, all photographs are welcome,” commented Keith Lovett, Managing Director & Senior Underwriter at Stoneways Marine.
Those wishing to take part can do so by emailing entries to info@stoneways.co.uk with the subject line ‘Boating and You’. Entries will close on October 23 2023 at midnight.
The winner’s images will be included within a special feature on the Stoneways Marine website and will also be showcased in the company’s 2024 marine industry calendar, distributed widely around the industry.
If that wasn’t enough, one lucky overall winner will receive a special bundle of prizes, with several exciting runner-up prizes up for grabs too. Here’s what you could win…
