Barry Town Council, in association with the Tall Ships Trust, have launched the Barry Marine Youth Award for 2014 which will involve an all-expenses paid voyage, in UK waters, sailing as a member of the crew aboard the tall ship Stavros S Niarchos.
The award, available to Barry residents aged from 12 to 25 years, will offer the opportunity to make new friends, enjoy new and unique challenges and sail aboard a magnificent ocean going square rigged tall ship.
Applicants need to complete an application form and submit a short written statement of 500 words about “Life in Barry 100 years ago” and also a short statement detailing “What winning the competition would mean to me.” Applications are welcome in English or Welsh.
