Film Festival

As part of this year’s gathering we are running a competion with the aim of inspiring and encouraging paddlers to share their experiences and the many expressions of sea kayaking.

The competition will be judged by Justine Curgenven with prizes kindly provided by Hebridean Brewery and Stornoway Malt whisky.

Films will be judged on their originality, inspiration and interest; not technical merit and editing ability. The film festival will be held on the Thursday night and we will show as many as we can of the best of the entries then.
