Ocean Photographer of the Year Awards

Co-organised by Blancpain and Oceanographic Magazine, the objective of the Ocean Photographer of the Year annual competition is to show the beauty of the ocean, as well as the many perils it faces. Ocean photographers, amateurs and professionals from all over the world, are invited to propose their most impactful work to a panel of judges consisting of photography experts, museum/gallery curators and editors.  

Oceanographic and Blancpain now collaborate and together present this photography competition as partners. Two brands sharing the same passion for the oceans and its preservation.
