As yacht crew members, you live a unique lifestyle unlike any other. Your EVERYDAY includes long days, high-pressure, and making once in a lifetime friendships with people who will support you while you are away from home, sometimes for months at a time.

You also have the opportunity to travel the world and see some EXTRAORDINARY sights that stop you in your tracks and truly take your breath away.

Whether it be a candid moment captured with your fellow crew, flora or fauna, marine life, amazing architecture, or even the dazzling night sky on the darkest of nights, this year we are asking you to capture your interpretation of EVERYDAY EXTRAORDINARY as a crew member and to share it with us.

Hayden Huntington, runner-up 2021

We have teamed up with Lost and Found Crew (LAFC) to bring you an incredible prize package worth almost USD 2000 - LAFC have created an NFT membership club exclusive to yacht crew and if you are named our photographer or videographer of the year, you will win a free NFT membership worth USD 1497 - with only 2022 NFT's available this really is an awesome prize! Not only that, but you will also win a Insta 360 ONE X2 Action Camera to continue capturing and sharing your incredible content. To find out more about LAFC NFT's check out their insta page @lafcnft.

Our photo winner will also feature on the cover of Dockwalk and the video winner will feature on both BOAT and Dockwalk websites with interviews about their entry. A runner up will be named in each category, and they will both win an Amazon voucher for GBP 100.
