It’s time to pore over those summer sailing photos… The 2021 OGA Photographic Competition is now open!
The categories are:
Sailing Gaffers
Photographs of gaffers in any situation: at work, rest or in repair. The photograph can be of one or many boats; and of the whole boat, or of any detail. The photograph should convey the special qualities attached to sailing gaffers.
Life at Sea
Photographs focusing on a human story, situation or atmosphere. The best or the worst: peace, excitement or misery!
The closing date is 1st December 2021. Winners will be announced at the OGA AGM in January 2022.
Prizes
A selection of nautical books will be awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd in each Category.
