The IWDIG is very pleased to announce the success of our youngest photographer, Lucy Johnson, in winning first place in the JPMorgan Asset Management Round the Island Race Photographic Competition. Lucy, only 15 at the time, won the under 18 category with her image ‘Through The Needles’ and was judged by Sir Robin Knox Johnston  to have taken the best photograph conveying the atmosphere of the Round the Island Race 2007 in that category.

Yachts & Yachting Magazine were the organisers of this prestigious photography competition with Old Pulteney and Henri Lloyd joining forces as sponsors. Numerous photographers in two age groups (under 18 and over) were encouraged to capture the excitement and beauty of one of the Islands if not the world’s largest yacht races and Lucy received a trio of Henri Lloyd dry bags as her prize with her winning image being published online and may also be published in the Yachts & Yachting Magazine. 

Lucy is at present studying media and photography at A level along with her other subjects, including language studies, and eventually hopes to work in media either in the UK or abroad.
