The Brian Black Memorial Award for Marine Environmental Journalism is in full swing again this year, and the judging panel includes a new member, Brian's granddaughter Penny Black, who will help assess the junior photography category.

Penny Black invites entries for Brian Black Memorial Award

This year 'Our Changing Seas' is the main theme of the entries. Judges will be looking for images and stories that answer the questions: How have you witnessed the changing marine environment and weather patterns through your sailing and along the coast? What was driving this change? And how do we respond to it?
