Maritime UK has chosen to launch the Maritime UK Solent Awards 2024, at Seawork, Europe&rsquo;s largest on-water commercial marine and workboat exhibition.

Network members and delegates are invited to join them on 11 June to hear from previous winners, including Don Millar from Just Be Maritime, Start-Up for the Year winners in 2023.

Don, and others, will describe the benefits and positive experiences that come, beyond the simple prestige, with being a winner and how the annual celebration of the region&rsquo;s finest maritime organisations, projects and people is so important for putting us all on the global stage.

Attendees will also hear from Portsmouth Sail Training Trust, Maritime UK Solent&rsquo;s Charity of the Year, who will describe how being associated with Maritime UK Solent in the last year has furthered their work supporting disadvantaged young people.

The formal opening for applications from Solent-based, maritime related charities will be made during the event, where they are invited to apply to become Maritime UK Solent&rsquo;s Charity of the Year for 2024/2025. Charities are encouraged to go to the Maritime UK Solent website to apply &ndash; the closing date for applications is 16 July 2024.

The window to apply for the Maritime UK Solent Awards themselves opens on 24 June.
