The level of entries was impressively high, but the judges have now selected a winner – Mr. Brian Friend of Hythe in Kent, whose winning picture showed cruise ship Boudicca in the lovely Norwegian port of Alesund. Entrants could send in up to ten images, up to 7MB in size and images had to be of destinations either visited by Fred. Olsen on its cruises, or include one of its ships in the picture. The winner receives an Olympus camera and photographic equipment to the value of £600.
