Thank you to everyone who entered our recent Artic Convoys Writing Competition. We received 65 entrants and were amazed by the quality, creativity and knowledge of all who entered.

Competition judge, Paige Halliday, project manager at Western Approaches, Arctic Convoys display and public programme said: “We were amazed with how many entrees we got for the competition, and we found it difficult to narrow it down to only three winners. It was wonderful to see so many people become interested in this sorely neglected area of history.”

“The competition is part of the ‘Arctic Convoys: A Shared History’ programme produced in partnership with the Culture and Education Section of the British Embassy in Moscow and the Northern Maritime Museum in Arkhangelsk.”
