Our annual photography competition has once again showcased the marine industry and boating lifestyle through the photographic talent and artistic perspectives of those involved in all aspects of boating.
Now in its fifth year, the competition celebrates the unique experiences that come with life on the water. With the marine industry revolving around water, there is a photogenic opportunity around every corner, and this year’s entries captured that perfectly.
The theme for 2026 was Boating Through The Seasons, giving photographers the freedom to interpret the theme in their own way and capture the moments, scenery and experiences that make time on the water so special.
We received an incredible selection of entries, with a fantastic variety of images showcasing the beauty, adventure and enjoyment of the marine environment. Our judges had a difficult task choosing their top three.
The winners are as follows:
1st place is awarded to Mollie Swaine
2nd place is awarded to Jenevora Swan
3rd place goes to Rupert Fowke
The three talented winners will each receive a fantastic bundle of prizes, including chandlery vouchers and Stoneways branded clothing. Their winning images will also feature in the 2027 Stoneways Marine Calendar, which is widely shared across the UK marine industry.
Stoneways Managing Director, Keith Lovett, commented:
“It was fantastic to see the range and quality of photographs submitted this year. There were so many brilliant images that choosing our winners was certainly not an easy task. Thank you to everyone who took the time to enter, and congratulations to our three winners. We’re looking forward to seeing their photographs featured in our 2027 calendars.”
