Ocean Art 2022 Underwater Photo Competition

Over $35,000 in prizes!

Submit

This year, we are excited to announce a new category - the Black & White category! This category will feature photographs in black, white, and shades of grey. These photos emphasize the ability of the photographer to accentuate light and shadows to tell a story. We have also decided to continue our very unique and impactful Blackwater and Underwater Conservation categories.

We can't wait to see the incredible photography our amazing community of underwater photographers brings forth!

Prizes:

The contest features prizes exceeding $35,000 in value from some of the world's top liveaboard, resort, and photo gear sponsors.

Eligibility:

All images are eligible regardless of past use. However, images that have not previously placed in a major international contest and have not been widely seen in publication are favored by our judges.
