The deadline of the Underwater Awards Australasia 2025 has been extended by popular demand! You now have an extra week to submit your entries—submissions must close on July 27th!
This really is your last chance to claim your share of $70,000 worth of prizes: awesome dive trips with Ocean Souls Explorer, Walindi Dive Resort, Master Liveaboards, Atlantis Philippines, Lissenung Island Resort, and Aquatica Dive Resort; as well as fabulous equipment from Doris, Fotocore, QYSEA, SUBLUE, OM System, Backscatter, Inon, Kraken Sports, SeaLife, OrcaTorch, Isotta, Insta360, Fourth Element, CineBags, and Saga Dive; not to mention a 2-day PADI Freediving course with Abyss Scuba Diving, a double dive at Nguthungulli Julian Rocks with Sundive Byron Bay, a one-year membership to The Underwater Club, and an hourlong online meeting with a shark scientist from the Oceania Chondrichthyan Society.
For six of the nine categories—Sharks, Conservation, Portfolio, Smartphone/Action Cam, Tough TG and Reels Showcase—entries must have been shot in the Australasian region, which includes Australia, New Zealand, and the countries of Melanesia, Micronesia, Polynesia, and Southeast Asia (see map). The remainder are special categories: Sydney (images captured in the waters of Metropolitan Sydney), Australian (images from Australia and its internal territories), and International Waters (images from anywhere!).
Submissions will be judged by a prestigious panel—photo judges Tobias Friedrich, Jayne Jenkins, Matty Smith, Tanya Houppermans, Scott Portelli and William Tan; and video judges Philip Hamilton and Ross Long—and the winners will be announced, and exhibited, at the Go Diving Show ANZ in September.
Procrastinate no longer, shooters! Head over to UnderwaterCompetition.com to enter your masterpieces today! (And please don’t forget to read the rules and guidelines carefully first.) The competition is an industry-first three-way collaboration between DPG, Underwater Australasia, and UW Images. Entry fees are US$10 per image or video entered.
