PHOTO COMPETITION

This open and free photo competition seeks to inspire the creation of imagery capturing the beauty, the challenges and the importance of the ocean and humankind’s relation to it, hoping to contribute to actions to preserve this vital resource.

The photo competition has five thematic categories open for submissions:

1. Awaken New Depths

   • Images that appeal to new depths of compassion, understanding, collaboration, and commitment for the ocean and the issues it faces. Photos that influence our perspectives and make us fundamentally reconsider not only our relationship to the ocean but also our methods and mediums of honoring, nurturing, and protecting it

2. Small Island Developing States

   • Images showcasing the beauty of Small Island Developing States (SIDS) or demonstrating the intimate connection of SIDS and their people to the ocean. Entries in this category may have the chance to have their images displayed at the 4th International Conference on Small Island Developing States, to be held in Antigua and Barbuda from May 27th–30th, 2024

3. Big and Small Underwater Faces

   • Portraits of marine life underwater that feature faces big and/or small to help personalize the world beneath the waves

4. Underwater Seascapes

   • Awe-inspiring underwater seascapes of the ocean’s splendors, from life in the ocean to ecosystems and exchanges we don’t typically see, anything that inspires beauty, promise, or potential. A minimum of 50% should be taken underwater, also allowing half-above water and half-below water shots

5. Above Water Seascapes

   • Landscapes depicting an environment dependent on the ocean, taken above water
