Every year, you and your colleagues, employed in the Danish merchant fleet, can participate in the photo competition for seafarers. First to fifth place wins a gift card for an optional store – and you don’t have to be a professional photographer to take part in the competition.
Every year we receive many beautiful, fun, quirky, and amazing pictures from seafarers describing life at sea. It can be beautiful sunsets, wild weather, whales and penguins or portraits and pictures of life on board a ship. You can also participate and send pictures to the competition. The top 5 pictures win a gift card, and they also participate in the Nordic Photo Competition for Seafarers, which is held in collaboration with Iceland, Finland, Norway and Sweden. You can find the rules for participation further down this page.
