Round Ireland Yacht Race 2026 Photography Competition Results

Wicklow Town was proud to welcome the 2026 Round Ireland Yacht Race.

To celebrate this event, Wicklow Town Team launched the inaugural Round Ireland Photography Competition. The competition aimed to capture the excitement of the race and showcase the beauty, character and vibrancy of Wicklow Town for residents and visitors alike.

The competition was generously sponsored by Wicklow Municipal District, whose support has made this initiative possible. Top prizes of €250 for the best Round Ireland photograph, and the best Around the Town photograph and runner up prizes.
