Sea Cadets will be taking part in the 2011 Peregrine Trophy, The Royal Navy’s prestigious photographic competition. A special category has been created for cadets and it is a chance in a lifetime for them to show off their photographic skills and capture the spirit and ethos of the Sea Cadet Corps- fun, teamwork and adventure.

Each year the RN recognises excellence in photography by hosting the Peregrine Photographic Awards and this year they’ve made a special category just for Sea Cadets. Any serving Sea Cadet aged between 13 and 18 can enter the competition for a chance to win and attend the awards ceremony in July.

We are really grateful to the RN for getting us involved, RN photographers travel all over the globe capturing amazing images of the RN in service and offer a glimpse into the tremendous work they do and the huge range of challenges and opportunities they encounter.
