Ocean Geographic Pictures of the Year

Pictures are the powerful medium for conservation. Images reveal untold stories, stir emotion and change hearts. Ocean Geographic prioritises the use of outstanding imageries to convey knowledge, thoughts and evoke compassion and desire within us to conserve and celebrate the beauty of our planet.

To encourage greater use of imageries for conservation and to celebrate the beauty of our planet, we have started an annual Ocean Geographic Pictures of the Year competition. Participants will compete in twelve categories to share their experiences and special moments with the seas.

Your pictures are imperative to promote better conservation of our natural world. As your work will influence change, we view the importance of awarding special recognition with prestigious Awards for Outstanding Achievement, Merit of Excellence and Special commendations. Most of these awards are named in honour of some of THE MOST CELEBRATED IMAGE-MAKERS and SCIENTISTS OF OUR OCEAN.

There will also be medals and prizes for the category winners. All winners will be published in a limited edition annual photography book and pictures will also exhibited in public to encourage greater awareness of the ocean environment.
