Explore the awe-inspiring beauty and fragility of our oceans through the Ocean Photographer of the Year exhibition, returning to the Australian National Maritime Museum this November.

A panel of expert judges selected the winning images, celebrating excellence in the categories of The Ocean, Wildlife, Fine Art, Adventure, Conservation (Hope), Conservation (Impact), Human Connection Award, Young Photographer of the Year and the Ocean Portfolio Award. The exhibition includes the Female Fifty Fathoms Award created in 2021 by Oceanographic Magazine and Blancpain to promote women in the field. Each year it celebrates one woman’s portfolio of work nominated by her peers.

From breathtaking wildlife encounters and underwater vistas to compelling scenes of human connection with the ocean, each photograph tells a powerful story.

The Ocean Photographer of the Year competition, run by the London based Oceanographic Magazine, is in its 5th year and has quickly achieved recognition amongst photographers around the world

The Australian National Maritime Museum is proud to partner with Oceanographic Magazine in producing the 2024 Ocean Photographer of the Year.
