Albany stopover photo competition

The Clipper Race fleet is approaching Albany, Western Australia, on its way from South Africa, and we want to see your best images of the yachts arriving in to Albany Waterfront Marina, and in situ during the stopover.

The winner of the best image will get to watch the race restart on the committee boat on Tuesday December 1, getting a prime on the water position to see the 12 teams set off at the start of the All Australian leg 4 to Sydney.

The winner will also get a goodie bag of Clipper Race merchandise, as will five runners up.

To enter, you will need to share your image/s via Twitter, Facebook or Instagram, and you must tag either @ClipperRace on Twitter/Clipper Round the World Yacht Race on Facebook/@ClipperRace on Instagram. You can also share with @AlbanyAU, and Eat Sleep Play Albany, and you must use the hashtag #ClipperRace or #ClipperRaceAlbany or #ilovealbany.

Photos could be of the yachts approaching/crossing the finish line right in front of the Albany Waterfront Marina, or the moment the top three winning teams spray their prize champagne, as pictured here for the GREAT Britain team during the last Albany stopover in November 2013. It could be of the yachts or crew taken in the marina while the various events take place.
