River Canal Rescue launches photography competition

THE River Canal Rescue (RCR) is calling on photography fans to send in their marine, river or canal-based pictures.

12 of which will be chosen to illustrate its 2025 calendar with any sales’ profits donated 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 scrutinise the entries, which, as long as they’re water-based, can be anything from landscape scenes to wildlife images. (Landscape pictures are preferred.)

Runs until end of May

The competition runs until midnight, 31st May 2024 and multiple entries are permitted. They must be original, in a hi-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.
