If your photography centers around the sea and sailing adventures, then it's time to enter the Brian Black Memorial Award before the competition closes on September 1, 2025. It's not just a competition, it's a platform for photographers and storytellers who are engaging with one of the most important subjects of our time: the changing state of our oceans.
The Black family, with Yachting Monthly, established the award in honor of environmental broadcast journalist Brian Black – a passionate sailor whose writing and filmmaking highlighted the crises facing fragile Arctic ecosystems. His wife, Lesley Black, was also a sailor and author, and became Northern Ireland's first female yacht club commodore.
