Underwater Photographer of the Year until 3 January 2020


Deadline: 3 January 2020. All photos in the main categories must be taken underwater (split-level images are permitted as long as a part of image is underwater).

We at the Underwater Photographer of the Year competition believe that, while prizes are an important part of any serious photography contest, it is the prize that money can-not buy which makes our awards uniquely attractive to underwater photographers. This comes from the worldwide media exposure that we generate for our winners and their photography.

That said, we are very proud that many of the leading companies in the diving and underwater photography world choose to sponsor UPY and we hope all entrants will consider using their products in the future.
