The Mirabaud Sailing Video Award 2020 puts the spotlight on ocean racing! French producer Martin Keruzore (Air Vide et Eau Productions) wins this special edition thanks to his magnificent video summarising the 70,000 nautical miles he covered around the world over the last three years as an onboard reporter. Herve Borde (Nefertiti) is awarded the Special Prize for their iconic video of the Vendee Globe 2016-17, filmed in the southern Oceans, while Artur Sikorski (MikkelGroth.com) receives the Public Award.

Keruzore receives a prize money thanks to the support of our partner Mirabaud, as well as an Alpina watch donated by Skippers magazine.

"It's the only video I gave a score of 10 on all three criteria", says Martina Orsini, photographer and member of the Jury. "It isn't about a single race, but a collection of ocean experiences. The editing, the choice of images and the music are absolutely perfect. Of all the videos received, Martin's is the only one that managed to value the images so well. He is excellent and fully deserves this victory!"
