QE2 in Hamburg or another European port
« on: Jan 06, 2024, 07:52 PM »
The theme for this month's photo competition is "QE2 in Hamburg or another European port", chosen by Lahrdeco.

Photos can have been taken onboard or from dockside, in port or at anchorages. The pictures should contain at least a sliver of QE2, plus at least a sliver of the relevant port. The UK continues to be part of Europe, even though it is no longer within the European Union.

Some pictures may already be in the QE2 Story Gallery -- if you would like to use any of those for the competition, just let the Moderators know, and we can enter them for you, without removing them from their original albums.

Your description should give some information about which port the photo was taken.

Photos entered should be your own, or if not, please post them with permission of the photographer, mentioning the name for copyright reasons, and so that the owner can be credited if the photo is published in the calendar!

Enjoy the search! It is bound to bring many happy memories of memorable port visits.





How to enter

The album is open -- so now is the time to look for your three most interesting pictures on this theme. Wishing you happy memories as you search your photo collection to find up to three pictures to upload to the competition album.

This link will take you straight there : QE2 in Hamburg or another European port.

If you have not uploaded photos to the Forum Gallery for a while, have a look at these instructions, and if you have any problems or would like us to move a photo from the Gallery into the competition, just contact us on admin@theqe2story.com.

If it helps, you could email the photos to the above address, and we shall gladly upload them for you.

The deadline for submitting photos is 31 January 2024. Voting will run from 1 February 2024 until 1 March 2024, until everyone's time zone has caught up with the closing date.

We look forward to seeing your photos in this competition. 

This is the second month of photos for the 2025 calendar. Already! Maybe your photo will figure there :) .

Enjoy yourselves!

Another good theme for the January competition.  As we celebrate the forum's 15 year anniversary this month a bumper number of competition entries would be a good way to celebrate. 

I have added my three pictures this morning. 

In the Gallery album QE2 on location there are many photos that would meet the theme.  If you need help to enter the competition please contact admin for help.

I was proud to be involved with planning QE2's 50 year conference in September 2017 in Clydebank

Entered. Tricky to choose photos this time due to a lot of choice!
