About the Maritime Media Awards
The Desmond Wettern Award for Best Journalism was launched in 1995 in memory of Desmond Wettern, naval correspondent of the Daily Telegraph and his dedication to the belief that the UK’s economic wellbeing and security are inextricably bound up with the sea. Further awards have been added to recognise maritime literature, filmmaking, and digital innovation.
The Awards also includes the Royal Navy – Desmond Wettern Fleet Award and the Maritime Fellowship Award, for which nominations are made, respectively, by the Royal Navy and the Maritime Foundation.
The Maritime Media Awards are judged by industry-leading experts in the maritime dimension.
