Photo competition FOR Seafarers 2020
The Photo Competitions for Seafarers are now settled and again this year many seafarers on board the Danish ships have participated with exciting and interesting photos. 46 seafarers have sent 221 pictures to the traditional competition that has existed since 1951. The winning pictures were chosen by Kim Eggers chief officer in Royal Arctic Line, photo teacher Jens Kostrup and photographer Olle Thorup.
The judges had this comment to the pictures of 2020:
“Another year with many good photographs, and we enjoyed selecting the winners. Yet again it was difficult to find a winner. The choice of motif is getting broader year by year, there are motifs that we see every year, but it is with great joy that we see the photographers find new ways of portraying their life at sea. Exciting compositions, color schemes and sides of life at sea that we haven’t seen before”.
“To be the manager of the photo competition is a lovely task. It is always a joy to receive the many exciting, fun, and beautiful pictures from the seafarers around the world, and to get to share them with other seafarers and everyone on land. We are happy that the seafarers support the competition and that we get this insight in their life at sea”. – Irene Olsen, manager of the photo competition.
