Pebbles, Boats and the Sea

Results

The Chesil Bank and the Fleet Nature Reserve is pleased to present the winners and winning photographs from the photographic competition with the theme of pebbles, boats and the sea. The competition was held as part of the 2010 Spirit of the Sea maritime festival.

There were four categories: Open, Underwater, Junior, and Camera-phone. The judges were looking for images that evoke the special qualities of our coastline and sea, be it the physical environment itself or those people or creatures that live, work or play there. Images must have been taken along the Dorset coastline between Abbotsbury and White Nothe.

Many of the submitted pictures were on display in the Mulberry Gallery of Weymouth Library 22-27th November 2010.
