Get the picture that tells the Sea Cadet story and you could scoop a top prize in the annual Sea Cadet Corps’ Photographic Challenge!

You don’t need to be a David Bailey or a budding paparazzo to make the grade, just an eye for a photo that puts the Corps in the frame. In a warship, aboard TS Royalist or TS John Jerwood, during an overseas exchange, at a training school or competition, or just down at the Unit – whenever you see a great shot. And if you come up with the goods you will be crowned Sea Cadet Photographer of the Year.




In association with our friends at The Naval Photograph Club, this year we are awarding two prizes open to Cadets of all ages:

* The Tod Trophy, named after Vice Admiral Sir Jonathan Tod KCB CBE, the last Chairman of the Sea Cadet Association, for the best photograph of any Sea Cadet activity
* The Anthony Preston Memorial Trophy, named after the renowned naval author and historian, for the best photograph of a ship

We are also introducing a new trophy for adults:

* The President’s Trophy, awarded for the best photograph of any Sea Cadet Corps related activity taken by an adult volunteer.

The competition will be co-ordinated by the President of The Naval Photograph Club, Dr Duncan Veasey. Entries should be clearly marked SEA CADET CORPS PHOTOGRAPHIC CHALLENGE and sent to:
