Maritime Art Competition 2012

Geoff Hunt, judge of Shipwrecked Mariners'Society art competion In 2012 the Shipwrecked Mariners’ Society ran an art competition which invited participants to create and submit an original piece of artwork with a strong maritime theme. The competition was judged by marine artist Geoff Hunt (see pictured with the winning and runner-up images). Geoff’s work features on the covers of Patrick O’Brian’s Aubrey-Maturin books.

We were very impressed by the high standard of all the entries, so wanted to share them with you below. Congratulations to the winner Celina Rupp, the runners-up, and indeed all those who participated in the competition. All the best for your future creative endeavours!
