Competitions

The RIN is always looking for new and exciting ways to stimulate interest and involvement in navigation on land, in the air, at sea and in space.
At present it has three major annual competitions – TopNav, the Young Navigators' Challenge and the New Professional Navigators' Award, details of which can be found below.
The RIN has plans to introduce other competitions in land, air and maritime navigation. More details will be available on these when they are finalised.
