THIS year the port launched a brand-new photo of the month competition.

The public is invited to send in photos of the port, or its surrounding areas, via Twitter to @ABPSouthampton with the hashtag #SOUPROUD.

Every month the winning photo will be added to a shortlist that will be judged against other photo of the month shots at the end of the year. The winning photo of the year will be revealed in December’s port feature and the photographer will win photography vouchers and a tour of the port.

This month’s winner is Heather Edwards @edwardsbrynfa for a happy shot while she waited to board Royal Caribbean’s Anthem of the Seas.
