The Prizes
In each category there will be two prizes and in addition there will be an overall winner of Concept Boat 2007 chosen from the winning entry of each of the two categories:
- Concept and Design: winning entry will receive £2500 and runner up £1000.
- Pure Concept: winning entry will receive £1000 and runner up £500.
- The winner of the overall Competition will receive an additional £2000.
- Commendations will be awarded at the discretion of the Judges.
The organisers of the Competition, the British Marine Federation, supported by the Royal Institution of Naval Architects, wish to encourage everyone involved in the design, development, production and use of small craft to look to, and through the competition influence, the future. There are two categories of entry: ‘Pure Concept’ and ‘Concept and Design’ which takes accounts of the profile of entrants which in the past has ranged from professional naval architects and designers to school teams and those simply with a novel idea.
The Judges
Concept Boat 2007 will assemble a panel of experienced judges drawn from the Royal Institution of Naval Architects Small Craft Committee, British Marine Federation, All at Sea and appropriate user representatives.
