River Canal Rescue launches photography competition
River Canal Rescue (RCR) is calling on photography fans to send in their marine, river or canal-based pictures, from which 12 will be chosen to illustrate its 2025 calendar, with proceeds going to Cancer Research UK.
A panel of judges including RCR director Stephanie Horton, Canal Boat editor Charlie Waters, and Canal & River Trust communications manager Damian Kemp, will review the entries, which, as long as they’re water-based, can be anything from landscape scenes to wildlife images.
The competition runs until midnight on 31 May 2024 and multiple entries are permitted. They must be original, in a high-resolution format, taken by the entrant, and accompanied with some background information, including a name, photo title, brief description of the image, and when and where it was taken.
RCR’s calendars will be on sale from the end of August and every image received will feature in a video, released on YouTube and RCR’s Facebook page, and potentially used in future promotional material, crediting the owner.
Photos should be emailed to rcrcompetition@gmail.com.
RCR recently published its breakdown and recovery figures for 2023, reporting a slight drop in incidents from the previous year.
