Whether you have just started on your media journey or have been shooting and editing for years, Burgess invites you to enter our 2021 photo and video competition for the chance to win the latest GoPro & accessory bundle worth EUR 800 and to be featured on the front cover of Dockwalk. There will be prizes for the winner and runner-up in both photo and video categories. All entries that meet the criteria below will be featured in Burgess digital content - maybe even in print!

Shelton Dupreez - 2018

There are three words that encapsulate the Burgess difference and those three words form our creative brief to you for this year: Experience, Exploration, Expertise. In video, stills or both, we want you to view your yachting adventures through the lens of one or more of those words to frame your unique take on life at sea.

Nicole Fawcett - winner, 2019

The closing date for entries is 10 September 2021 with the winners to be announced at the Monaco Yacht Show. Winners will be notified via email, announced on the Burgess website and all Burgess social media channels.

We are really excited to have the Creative Director and Editor of Dockwalk, YachtieWorld, BlueiProd and our own in-house photographer judging your work for us this year.

The entry form, entry specifications and terms and conditions can be found at the end of this page.

Good luck and get shooting!
