The purpose:

Photography plays a critical role in the fight for a healthier ocean – both as a source of inspiration and as a tool to inform. The Ocean Photography Awards – and this book – are an extension of Oceanographic Magazine’s values: harnessing image-driven storytelling to connect with people – both ocean goers and non-ocean-goers – around the world. Some of the images within Volume I will make you scream with anger, others will fill your heart with joy.

The categories:

  • The Ocean Photographer of the Year. The competition winner. Awarded to the most compelling and beautiful image submitted.

  • The Ocean Conservation Photographer of the Year. Awarded to the photographer who most powerfully communicates any of the many perils facing the ocean today, or stories of hope and recovery.

  • The Ocean Adventure Photographer of the Year. Awarded to the photographer who most successfully translates our species’ connection with – and fascination of – life in, on and around the ocean.

  • The Ocean Exploration Photographer of the Year. Awarded to the photographer who most dramatically brings the rawness of ocean exploration to lif

  • The Young Ocean Photographer of the Year. Open to entrants under the age of 18, this award recognises photographers who display both youthful curiosity and clear ocean literacy.

  • The Collective Portfolio Award. Awarded to the photographer who showcases a long-held commitment to ocean conservation through a striking body of work – strong enough to take up a one-year residency as a member of the SeaLegacy Collective, alongside the judging panel.
