The Awards

The Peter Batterley Trophy for Photo-Journalism

This trophy was sponsored by Peter Batterley (a founder member), and launched in 2015.  Members of the association submit articles they have written (usually Cruising Logs, but any article of interest/value to member is accepted).  Members vote on the articles and the trophy is awarded to the author of the article that receives the most votes.
