Still at sea

ITF Seafarers' Trust Prize Photography Competition

Calling all seafarers! Win £1,000 for the best photograph of life at sea during Covid-19 

The ITF Seafarers Trust invites you to submit your photographic images of your maritime world during the Covid-19 pandemic. Tell the story in pictures of your experience of working at sea during these extraordinary times. Share the highs, the lows and the spaces in-between. Snap action shots or times of reflection. Immortalise your crew mates and capture the weather in pixels.

We seek to create a photographic archive of this extraordinary moment in history and record your impressions of life at sea during Covid-19. We are looking for great photos to show people ashore the realities of life on board.

Our aim is to tell the story of the men and women still working at sea to the world beyond maritime.

Send us your photos to help us tell your story and have a chance to win cash prizes.

Prizes:
1st prize £1,000
2nd prize £750
3rd prize £500
