The contest attracted hundreds of entries, capturing coastal activity in and around the Port of Blyth, the river and nearby beaches.
The winner of the competition was Tab Hunter’s image, A Sunny Morning, which impressed the judges because of its bold and contrasting colours.
Port of Blyth chief executive Martin Lawlor said: “Thank you to everyone who entered this year’s competition. As always, the standard was incredibly high, so congratulations to Tab for his stunning winning image.
"In 2023 we want to inspire more people to enter the competition so we can continue to showcase and champion Blyth.
"This year we are gifting calendars and canvases of previous winning images to Ridley Park Care Home following their appeal to help residents feel more connected to their community.”
The competition for next year is now open, and budding snappers can enter the competition via the Port of Blyth’s website - https://portofblyth.co.uk/stakeholder-overview/photo-competition/.
