Hublot becomes a partner in the "Mirabaud Yacht Racing Image Award" and "the Mirabaud Sailing Video Award" and will offer a pendulum to the winners of both competitions.
"At Hublot, we've always been passionate about sailing and racing," said Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO of Hublot. "The name of our brand is a direct reference to the world of boating. Today we are happy to join these two prestigious competitions as a partner and to demonstrate our attachment to sailing by merging the latter with art and imagery through photography and video. This is the philosophy of Hublot's Art of Fusion."
Initiated in 2010, the Mirabaud Yacht Racing Image is the main photo competition dedicated to sailing as a competitive sport. It aims to celebrate the most beautiful sailing images taken each year and to allow sea photographers from all over the world to share their passion for the regatta with the greatest number. More than a million people viewed the images from the latest edition of the contest. Photo submissions are open until 12 October. To participate to the competition, photographers must register online and select an image taken between October 13, 2016 and October 12, 2017.
Founded in the spring of 2017, the Mirabaud Sailing Video Award aims to reward the best sailing videos produced each year as well as their directors. The annual contest is reserved for video professionals: cameramen, filmmakers, editors, production boxes, and professional sailors who produce videos aboard their sailing ships during competitions.
The winners of the two competitions will be celebrated at the Yacht Racing Forum in Aarhus, Denmark, on November 27-28.
